Battling Against Unsafe Medicines
If you or any of your family members have physical deformities caused by medical malpractice or as a result of a medical prescription, you can actually file a Topamax lawsuit. The cases of children with an inborn physical defect called cleft or lip palate which can be caused by a drug called Topamax is an example. Although the said deformity has always been blamed to hereditary causes, recent studies show that it can also be as a result to exposure to certain drugs and viruses.
Topamax is known to be a drug that effectively cures or relieves migraine. However, mothers who have taken the drug while pregnant can actually cause an incomplete body part formation for their unborn babies, cleft palate being the most common case. Babies and children with cleft or lip palate had to battle with many struggles growing up—bullying from other children, speech impediments and serious ear infections included. The good news about this is it can be operated on. With the help of expert and trained lawyers, parents who think their child with cleft palate is a victim to this medical malpractice can get a liability claim if they could produce proof to justify their claims.
