For example in the event that a physician fails to recognize a congenital disorder in the uterus and fails to inform parents of the condition, parents may pursue a wrongful birth lawsuit seeking compensation for the lifetime expenses associated with the disabled child.

A successful medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases requires that the physician was obligated to the patient to perform a duty of care, that the physician breached this duty, that the doctor's actions or inability to act led directly to injuries and damages and that the victim suffered economic and non-economic losses due to his or her injuries. These damages could include medical bills, lost wages and emotional distress.

Many mothers are exposed to various toxic chemicals while working. They can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed into the skin. These chemicals comprise industrial solvents such as ethylene glycol ethers (EGE) used in the production of semiconductors. Parents can also be exposed to these poisons when they consume certain prescription or over-the-counter medications. Many drugs have not been adequately tested on pregnant women and have led to birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

While genetic disorders are among the most frequently cited causes of birth defects, environmental exposure can also play a role. Many different chemicals and toxins found in our homes as well as in food items can increase the likelihood of having a birth defect. Pesticides and fungicides are among the most prevalent. Heavy metals, paints heavy pigments, certain chemicals are also included. Exposure to these toxins is generally inevitable. If employers fail to protect their pregnant employees, this is a breach of duty and they could be held accountable.

The challenge is to evaluate these interactions in real time. This is why the National Children's Study, now underway in a variety of states, is so important. The NCS will enrol 100,000 women from representative populations and monitor them and their children over the long term. This study will provide most comprehensive information about how environmental factors impact the health of infants and children.

Although the majority of birth defects are not caused by medical negligence, there are cases when a healthcare worker is negligent prior to or during labor and birth. A doctor may prescribe a medication incorrectly that causes harm to a baby even before birth, or make an error during surgery.

Our birth defect lawyers have successfully pursued claims in which a mother’s health care provider was exposed to toxic chemicals or prescription drugs which increased the chance that she will give birth to a child who has birth defects.
