Our Birth Defects Practice

Medical literature and scientific research have demonstrated that the use of certain pharmaceuticals before and during pregnancy can lead to birth defects in children. In certain instances, however, medications once thought to be safe have been shown to have detrimental effects. For example, recent studies have shown that Paxil, when taken by pregnant women, can lead to increased malformation of fetal organs, including the heart. Some pharmaceutical companies either fail to disclose these risks or fail to take the time and effort to determine whether certain drugs could be harmful to an unborn child.

At the Talaska Law Firm, we handle all matters related to birth defect claims. We will thoroughly investigate the facts, evidence and circumstances surrounding your child’s birth defect and the use of any prescription or over-the-counter drugs before or during your pregnancy. We will work closely with expert witnesses to demonstrate the causal link between the medication and your child’s condition, and will prepare and present the strongest arguments to help you get the recovery you need to meet your child’s needs.
