Thousands of families have been surprised to learn that their newborn came into the world having suffered a medical injury caused by a careless drug manufacturer. The sad irony for many families is that the womb in which the child was being carried, the part of his or her mother most closely associated with safety and protection, was the place where he or she was injured.
In an effort to combat natal depression, some expecting mothers take antidepressants such as Prozac, Lexapro, or Zoloft without realizing the possibility that their child may be hurt in the process. If your newborn suffers from persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) or one of several cardiac, behavior, or physical conditions, your family may have suffered a legal wrong. As with all legal wrongs, you may be able to successfully avail yourselves of your legal rights and remedies.
