Texas Birth Defect and Birth Injury Claims
Birth
injury and birth defect claims are some of the most
difficult types of personal injury claims to handle because
of the emotion that goes along with them. Parents who
should be celebrating the birth of a new child, are often
caught off guard when their child is born with severe
disabilities. It is often all the parents can do to
take care of the their new child and they often don't
realize that someone may be responsible for the birth injury
or defect including medical professionals that have
committed medical malpractice during the birthing process or
drug manufacturers that hid information about medications
that can cause birth defects.
If you believe that your child has
suffered a birth injury as a result of medical malpractice
or a birth defect as a result of a drug,

Injury Claim or Texas Birth Defect Claims or

Medication Birth Defect Claims
Several
medications, products, and drugs have been linked to birth
defects. Some of these medication and products have
ample warnings that warn pregnant women to avoid taking
these products while they are pregnant, however, some
manufacturers have hidden the real dangers of their product
in order to sell more of their product and value profits
over healthy babies. For these manufacturers, they may
have short term profits, but over the long term they will
suffer for the long term birth defects that they have
caused. Some medications that have been linked to
birth defects include Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
Antidepressants (SSRIs). Women that have taken SSRIs
after the 20th week of pregnancy have a 6-fold
increased risk of developing persistent pulmonary
hypertension, a life-threatening lung disorder.
Infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension have
abnormal blood flow through the heart and lungs and do not
get enough oxygen to their bodies and may become very sick
or die. For more information on Selective Serotonin
Reuptake Inhibitor Antidepressant Birth Defect Claims,
please go to our SSRI Birth Defect Claim Information Page.
Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Claims
"Cerebral" refers to the brain and "palsy" to muscle
weakness/poor control. Cerebral palsy itself is not
progressive, but is a developmental problem that can occur
during fetal development, the birthing process, or infancy.
Once a child has cerebral palsy, the child will not get worse over time, however,
conditions such as muscle spasticity can develop which may
get better or worse over time. Although cerebral
palsy is not "curable", training and
therapy treatments can help improve function. For more
information on Cerebral Palsy Birth Injury Claims go to our
Cerebral
Palsy Birth Injury Claim Information Page.
Brachial Plexus Birth
Injury Claims
Brachial Plexus Injuries occur when the brachial plexus, a
network of nerves between the neck and shoulder, is damaged.
Because the brachial plexus conducts nerve signals from the
spinal cord to the arm and hand, when it is damaged
impairment of the arm and hand can occur causing a limp arm.
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves formed by fibers
located between the shoulder and the neck. Most brachial
plexus injuries happen during birth when excessive lateral
traction is applied to the fetal neck region during a
vaginal birth and a traumatic stretching of the brachial
plexus occurs causing damages to the nerves. Brachial plexus injuries
are more common in infants that are larger
than average in size as they have more trouble moving through
the birth canal. For more information on Brachial
Plexus Birth Injury Claims including Erb's Palsy Birth
Injury Claims, please go to our

and Brachial Plexus Birth Injury Claim Page.
Federal and Texas Medical Malpractice Claims
Federal Tort Claims and Texas Medical
Malpractice Claims are
some of the most complicated types of cases in the practice
of law. As a Texas medical malpractice birth injury lawyer that has handled
medical malpractice claims, I have worked with other Federal
Medical Malpractice Brachial Plexus Lawyers, Texas Medical Malpractice
Birth Injury
Lawyers, and Texas Brachial Plexus Palsy Lawyers to seek compensation from negligent doctors
and negligent health care providers that
have severely injured or killed infants or mother through medical
mistakes and medical carelessness during prenatal care or
the birthing process.
