Is your baby suffering from a birth defect?
AboutBirthDefects.org, sponsored by the birth defect lawyers at Chaffin Luhana LLP, was developed to educate women on the causes, types, treatments, prevention measures, testing and common misconceptions surrounding birth defects. Our goal is to help women minimize the risk of birth defects during pregnancy as well as provide the legal assistance they may require if their baby’s birth defect was caused by a drug prescribed during pregnancy.
