BIRTH DEFECTS

A majority of birth defects are the result of unknown causes; however, birth defects can be the result of medical negligence. Also, during the prenatal period medications or other toxins to which the mother is exposed can harm the child prior to birth. These injuries are often permanent and can be devastating to the entire family.

Also, some children are permanently injured during the birthing process.  A deprivation of oxygen to the brain immediately before or during delivery (prenatal asphyxia) can result in permanent brain damage to a child.  This often results in the need for lifelong medical care and assistance.
