SSRI Birth Defects Lawsuits for Cardiac, Skull and Abdominal Malformations

Women who took Zoloft, Lexapro, Paxil, Celexa or another SSRI drug during pregnancy and delivered a child with a congenital heart, skull or abdominal birth defect may have legal recourse. Potentially, a SSRI birth defects lawsuit would provide these individuals an opportunity to file a claim seeking compensation for medical bills and other damages resulting from their child’s injuries. Women who want to pursue compensation through a SSRI birth defects lawsuit are advised to act quickly, however, as failure to file a SSRI birth defects lawsuit within a certain time period will prohibit the family from ever taking legal action for their child's injuries.

If your child was born with an SSRI birth defect and you took Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa or another antidepressant during pregnancy, contact us today for a free, no obligation case review to find out if you are entitled to financial compensation.

SSRI Birth Defects

Women may be eligible to seek compensation through an SSRI lawsuit, as Zoloft and similar SSRI antidepressants have been linked to a risk of birth defects in newborns of mothers taking these medications while pregnant. In light of allegations of SSRI birth defects, our attorneys are available to review claims from women who took Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa or another SSRI drug while pregnant and delivered children with any of the following alleged SSRI birth defects:

• Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
• Omphalocele
• Spina bifida
• Craniosynostosis
• Tetralogy of fallot (TOF)
• Coarctation of the aorta
• Heart defects
• Transposition of the great arteries (TGA)

Club foot, spina bifida, ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD) and holes in the heart have also been associated with SSRI use during pregnancy. If your child was born with any of these alleged SSRI birth defects, you may have legal recourse.
