Medications
Medications and drugs used by pregnant women, as well as certain environmental factors can increase the risk of birth defects. Some birth defects can be caused by mutations in genes or chromosomes. These mutations are often passed down through families. Other birth problems are caused by specific behaviours or exposure to chemicals during pregnant. Alcohol, smoking and taking illegal drugs are all examples.
Certain birth defects can be identified before the baby is born, for example spina-bifida and cleft lip/palate. Others are discovered only upon birth, for instance congenital heart defects (which affect the way that a baby's lungs function) or gait and balance problems like cerebral palsy. Many birth defects can be addressed, either by surgery or medication. Some may need aidive devices such as hearing aids or wheelchairs.
During pregnancy, it's essential that expectant mothers talk to their healthcare providers about any medications they take. This includes prescription, over the counter and herbal medications. It is crucial for pregnant women to be aware of the negative effects chemicals and toxins can have on their bodies. If pregnant women are exposed to harmful chemicals or substances in the early stages of pregnancy, they are at risk of increasing the chance that their infants will develop certain birth defects such as spinal muscle atrophy and fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The experienced birth defect attorneys at LK have represented parents and children in lawsuits related to toxic chemical exposure as well as cases brought due to complications with medical treatment.
The wrong diagnosis
Birth defects can affect any part of the human body, and can have a significant impact on its appearance or function. Some are more obvious than others, but they can be just as serious and life-altering. Parents are typically informed of the existence of a birth deformity within the first year after birth, or even years later.
Depending on the severity of the problem, it could require medical attention or surgery to alleviate symptoms and improve performance. A failure to identify the issue could have serious implications. A medical malpractice attorney who is experienced in handling cases involving medical malpractice will be able to help you determine the value of your case.
A successful medical malpractice case will compensate your family and you for the losses you have suffered. A birth defect lawyer with years of experience can help you navigate through the legal system and focus on the future of your family.

A routine blood test, including hemoglobin electrophoresis, showed that the Mother was diagnosed with beta thalassemia.
