These could be related to birth defects, including lips that are missing or cleft, or congenital heart disease, as well as muscular dystrophy. You could be able to pursue a malpractice lawsuit when a medical professional's negligence led to these conditions during pregnancy or delivery.
Birth birth defects can be caused by a variety of factors, including exposure to harmful chemicals or prescription drugs and environmental factors and problems with prenatal care. The duty of a doctor to ensure the health of the mother and fetus includes conducting regular screening tests and identifying and treating any anomalies during pregnancy.
Medical experts must determine if the negligence of a doctor caused fatal injury or death as a result of failing to diagnose or treat the condition. To establish negligence, an expert has to examine the standard of care that a physician would have followed in similar circumstances, and show that the doctor was not following the standard and caused the injury or death.

This can include witnesses at the hospital and other patients as well as their families, nurses, and more.

However, doctors also have the responsibility to detect and treat warning signs, including high blood pressure, which can result in the dangerous condition known as preeclampsia. Preeclampsia can lead to a premature separation of the placenta from the uterus and seizures. It could also cause a life-threatening illness called HELLP Syndrome.
Medical malpractice lawsuits that involve gynecology and obstetrics are among the most common kinds of lawsuits filed in the United States.

Settlements are usually reached through direct negotiations between the parties, or with the assistance of a neutral mediator (often a retired judge or attorney). Medical malpractice lawsuits aren't a quick way to remove doctors from practice or even to ban a physician from practicing.
