Texas Wrongful Birth Attorney

Protecting the Rights of Parents for More than 20 Years

America’s laws allow women to make the choice to terminate a pregnancy early in the term if they receive information from their physician that the child has a potentially fatal or severely debilitating condition. If your doctor knew or should have known of such a problem but failed to inform you, resulting in a stillborn child or a child with significant handicaps, you may have a claim for wrongful birth of the child. You want an experienced lawyer to help you recover full and fair compensation for your losses.

At the Talaska Law Firm in Houston, Texas, we bring more than two decades of personal injury experience to parents throughout Texas and nationwide. Attorney Robert Talaska is board certified in personal injury trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. We understand the law and legal process governing wrongful birth, and will dedicate ourselves to helping you get the recovery you need to care for your child or compensate you for your losses.

Our Representation in Wrongful Birth Claims

Because of advances in medical technology, knowledge and information, medical professionals can now observe in greater detail the development of a child in the womb. In many instances, a doctor can diagnose problems that can be either life-threatening or likely to lead to severe physical or mental handicaps. Unfortunately, some physicians either don’t use the technology available or fail to properly communicate all potential concerns to prospective parents. If you had known the risks, you might have opted to terminate the pregnancy. Now you are faced with overwhelming emotional and financial challenges.

We represent parents in claims for wrongful birth based on the negligence or carelessness of treating physicians. We handle claims involving:

• the failure by a gynecologist or obstetrician to use reasonable means to determine potential birth defects or other problems with an unborn child
• the failure by a medical professional to properly convey to parents information about potential health risks to the unborn child

We will work closely with you to help you recover compensation for all costs associated with caring for and raising your child. We have a broad network of highly qualified and skilled experts who can help us show both that your doctor either knew or should have known of problems and what the full extent of your losses, including medical costs as well as physical pain and suffering, will be.
