Birth Defects Attorneys & Lawyers

Birth defects affect approximately 150,000 babies annually in the United States. Many of the causes of birth defects remain unknown – a problem which leads many parents to feel confused and even guilty.

However, many known causes of birth defects occur as a result of factors outside of the parents' control. For instance, genetic birth defects cannot be prevented since the parents have no control over the genes they pass on to their child. Environmentally caused birth defects, on the other hand, are oftentimes preventable – especially drug related birth defects and those caused by toxic chemicals known to cause defects (also called teratogens) are at fault.

Parents whose child was born with a preventable birth defect may be entitled to seek compensation for their losses. While monetary compensation is hardly a substitute for the health and well-being of a child, it does provide a way to bring liable parties to justice and help defray medical or other expenses.

Why Contact A Birth Defect Attorney?

A qualified birth defect attorney can evaluate your claim and provide you with competent legal counsel. You may be able to seek legal redress for your losses, in which case a birth defect attorney can litigate your case.

Many birth defect attorneys have won large settlements for their clients. With the help of a birth defect attorney, you may be able to recover both economic and non-economic damages including: medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

Also, most birth defect attorneys work on a “contingency fee” basis, which means they work for free unless they successfully resolve your case.

If you have a child born with a preventable birth defect, you do not have to suffer in vain. An experienced birth defect attorney understands the toll an unpreventable birth defect can have on a family and can help you hold responsible parties accountable.

How Do I Contact A Birth Defect Attorney?

It is wise to seek the early advice of a birth defect attorney if you are considering taking legal action, particularly because all birth defect lawsuits are subject to a statute of limitations restricting the time parties have to file a claim.
