Failure to Diagnose Birth Defects & Genetic Disorders in California

Only parents of children born with birth defects and genetic disorders can understand the pain and hardship these situations present. Parents hope the world for their children, which is why they are often so devastated when they hear the news that their child has a debilitating birth defect. Most parents want to know about these defects prior to their child's birth, and some want to know so that they can stop the pregnancy.

If your child was born with a birth defect such as spina bifida, cystic fibrosis, or downs syndrome and your doctor failed to make the diagnosis, you may have a prenatal misdiagnosis claim. Contact our award winning attorneys today.

Do you have a prenatal misdiagnosis lawsuit?

In the obstetrics field of the medical industry, obstetricians are held to a certain standard of care. Part of this standard of care is performing the necessary prenatal screening tests to determine the fetus' health. If your obstetrician/doctor has failed to do this or do this appropriately, you may have a claim.
