Physical and financial hardships can take a toll on parents whose child is afflicted with birth defects and genetic disorders. Genetic disorders and birth defects may be an inherited trait or they may simply be an accident of nature. |

Prenatal misdiagnosis is when a doctor is negligent and does not diagnose any birth defects or genetic disorders during the pregnancy. Standard procedures should be followed by every obstetrician, like conducting prenatal screening tests on all pregnant women.
Prenatal misdiagnosis cases can be caused by:
• Anatomy
• Inattentive staff
• Misplacing prenatal screening results
• Failure to offer proper prenatal testing
• Disregard to ordering genetic history screening tests of both parents
• Improperly interpreting the ultrasound or sonogram
If parents believe their child’s genetic disorder or birth defects are the result of negligence on behalf of the hospital and their staff, they may be able to file a claim with an experienced medical malpractice attorney. If the parents would have decided to terminate the pregnancy had they known about the disorder or defects, the emotional toll can be devastating.
An attorney will be able to show that the doctor or staff was negligent and did not tell the parents, or were unaware, about the defects or disorders.
