subject: From Ssri Antidepressant Use During Pregnancy To A Birth Defects Lawsuit [print this page] A Zoloft birth defects lawsuit has become the center point of my thoughts because much to my dismay and expressed resentments, the last couple of months have been a reason for constant worry. Two months ago, a close member of the family gave birth to a baby with a heart condition that already required two surgeries. All there has been to the family's day lately is the scare and desperation of periodical sudden rushes to the hospital, plus of course, the forever present hope for the best.
The parents were advised by a work colleague to initiate legal action, as there was strong suspicion that the baby's heart condition was an unwanted side effect of an antidepressant. The mother was prescribed and took Zoloft during the first part of her pregnancy. What stroke me as a witness of the agony of the first days, was the lack of time and that of energy to put effort into a Zoloft pregnancy lawsuit.
Ever since I have started my own research on the subject of Zoloft-related congenital abnormalities, I came across a number of families faced with all kinds of health challenges of the same sort. A variety of heart defects, several types of cranial and abdominal anomalies, limb developmental problems, open spine, PPHN can be linked to Zoloft or other SSRI antidepressant use during pregnancy.
It is possible to file a Zoloft birth defects lawsuit for any of the congenital health injuries that enter the above mentioned categories. I find it scary to think that a widely prescribed antidepressant considered safe for pregnant women also, can actually cause this many complications and comes with so many risks.
Despite the fact that the immediate reaction to all the drug-related risks is to decide on stopping the drug use, doctors advise on the imminent dangers of withdrawal. Symptoms of withdrawal can be drastic and can further complicate the already troubled reality of a depressed pregnant woman.
On the other hand, in many cases the damage is already done, as many of the congenital anomalies that Zoloft can cause appear in the first few days or weeks of fetal life. It is not easy to find a qualified attorney committed to your cause, and given the fact that several attorney offices offer free Zoloft birth defects lawsuit case reviews, it is a good idea to hear more than one opinion.
In times of successive medical procedures and the mix of fear and hope that accompanies such events, it certainly can be a daunting task to concentrate on something else than the next planned surgery. This is why I have been trying to help my family by getting as much information as possible on Zoloft and pregnancy lawsuit.
In addition to the emotional roller-coaster they put an entire family on, surgeries and constant medical care can be financially burdening and can try the family to the limits. The monetary compensations that may be obtained after filing a Zoloft birth defect lawsuit are various, and depending on the implications of the health injury on everyday life, they can be offered to cover medical bills, future follow-up medical controls, any incidental extra medical gear needed or expenses for therapy and counseling.
It takes the experience and the expertise of a skilled attorney to be able to tell what type of compensation is proper and can be obtained. In order to save time and effort, it is essential to file for the appropriate Zoloft birth defects lawsuit. Just as I believe that my family member should take the advice of her work colleague and put things onto a legal course, I would also advice others who find themselves in the position of birth defects victims, to do so.
It naturally takes courage and determination, but a Zoloft and pregnancy lawsuit can worth it all in the end. I wish good luck and perseverance to all who need it to face the challenges that raising a child born with congenital anomalies rise.
