Medical malpractice occurs when a physician does not adhere to the accepted standards of medical care in their area of expertise. This could include failing to conduct prenatal testing, prescribing medications that increase the likelihood of birth defects, or making an error during labor and delivery.
Birth defects and birth injury are often caused by environmental and genetic factors but they can also be a result of the negligence of a doctor. For example in the event that a physician fails to detect the presence of a congenital defect in utero and fails to notify the parents of this condition, parents may pursue a wrongful birth lawsuit seeking compensation for the lifelong expenses associated with the disabled child.
A successful medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases demands that the doctor was obligated to the patient to perform a duty of care, that the physician did not fulfill this duty, that the doctor's negligence or failure to act led directly to injuries and damages, and that the victim suffered economic and non-economic damages due to his or her injuries. These damages might include the cost of medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Prenatal visits are crucial to ensure that pregnant women are provided with the appropriate tests and monitoring. If you believe that the birth defect of your child is due to medical malpractice, consult an experienced medical malpractice lawyer and birth injury lawyer immediately.
