Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor does not adhere to the accepted standards of care in his or her area of expertise. This could include failing to perform routine prenatal tests or prescribing medication that increases the likelihood of birth defect or making a misstep during labor and delivery.

Birth defects and birth injuries are usually the result of genetic and environmental factors, but sometimes they arise due to an error or negligence of a physician. For example when a doctor fails to recognize a congenital disorder in the uterus and fails to inform parents of this disability, the parents may pursue a wrongful birth lawsuit seeking compensation for the lifelong expenses associated with the handicapped child.

A successful medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases demands that the doctor has a responsibility to the patient of care, that the physician breached this duty, that the doctor's actions or inability to act directly led to injuries and damages and that the victim was harmed economically and non-economically due to the injuries. These damages could include medical expenses or lost wages, as well emotional distress.

The presence of many different chemical compounds and toxins in the workplace, at home and in food can increase the risk of developing birth defects. Pesticides and fungicides are among the most prevalent. Paints, heavy metals heavy pigments, certain chemicals are also included. Exposure to toxic substances is almost always inevitable.
