Sometimes, the causes of birth defects and congenital disorders are unknown. However, other times it is clear that hospital negligence is at fault. If a loved one is the victim of birth defects caused by negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the financial or emotional damages you have suffered.

Before one can begin discussing birth defects, it is important to understand the definition of birth defects.

Birth defects range from minimal anomalies to serious abnormalities.

About 2-3% of babies are born with congenital defects. The incidence is highest in the brain (10 per 1000 live births), heart (8 per 1000), kidneys (4 per 1000) and limbs (2 per 1000). All other defects have a combined incidence of 6 per 1000 live births.

Birth defects are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States
