LAW FIRM FOR Birth Injuries

Welcoming a new child to the world is a wonderful experience and it should be the happiest moment in a couple’s relationship. Unfortunately, medical accidents and avoidable birth defects do occur from time to time. This misfortune may be the result of negligence, improper medical care, and/or prenatal misdiagnosis. If you feel that your newborn baby has experienced an injury during the birthing process or is living with an abnormality due to negligent actions or the result of prescribed medications, the Florida statute of limitations allow victims a maximum of two years to file a lawsuit. That being said, it’s important to collect as much information and evidence as you can during this period to prove your birth injury case in a court of law.

Birth InjuryCauses of Birth Defects

Birth defects are caused by several factors. Some incidents are natural, and occasionally these defects are due to medicines or drugs prescribed by a doctor. Birthing abnormalities may be a side effect caused by antidepressants, blood thinners, hormone drugs, sedatives, acne medications, anti-inflammatory medicine, diabetes medication, or drugs that reduce folic acid levels.

There are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRI medications, like Lexapro, Zoloft, Symbyax, Fluvoxamine, Prozac, and Paxil that are prescribed to female patients suffering from depression and anxiety. Birth side-effects may result from these certain medications.

It’s of the utmost importance to check with your doctor if you are pregnant and taking any medications, and it’s wise to research the risks of continuing certain prescriptions while pregnant. The CDC claims that 1 in 28 babies born in Florida have a major birth defect, and that some cases are preventable.
