Zoloft Lawyers

Zoloft Birth Defects Attorneys

Women who take SSRI antidepressants while they are pregnant face an increased risk of having children with birth defects. ย If you or someone you love has taken Zoloft and given birth to a child with a birth defect, give us a call today at 803.252.4800 for a ย free case evaluation. You could be entitled to compensation.

Common birth defects after taking Zoloft while pregnant include:

  • Congenital heart lesions & anomalies
  • Down’s syndrome
  • Undescended testes in males
  • Blindness
  • Spina bifida
  • Hernia
  • Malformations
  • Clubfoot (one or both feet turn downward and inward)
  • Septal defects; Cleft lip and/or cleft palate

Zoloftย Heart Defects

Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride) was approved by the FDA and introduced into the market in 1991. ย In December 2005, the FDA issued a public health advisory stating that certain antidepressants taken during the first trimester of pregnancy could correlate to an increased risk of birth defects.

Studies by theย New England Journal of Medicineย have found that Zoloft can increase the risk of seriousย heart defectsย when women take the drug during pregnancy. Pregnant women taking this medicine are six times more likely to give birth to a child withย persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).ย  The study also states women are twice as likely to give birth to a child withย septal defectsย or ventricular outflow tract defects.

Despite a number of studies linking Zoloft to severe birth defects, the FDA says they have no plans toย recall the drug. ย Patients who gave birth to a child with heart defects or other side effects may be eligible to file a lawsuit.

Zoloft lawsuits claim thatย the drug makers failed to adequately research the effect of the drug when used during pregnancy. The lawsuit also claims that the company did not provide adequate warnings to consumers or the medical community that using the drug duringย pregnancy may leave children with serious and potentially fatal health problems.

How to File a Zoloft Claim

If you or someone you love took Zoloft and suffered a birth defect or malformation, you could be entitled to compensation because the injuries may have been prevented if adequate warnings had been provided about the risk associated with using Zoloftย during pregnancy.

What Our Clients Say

They truly care
Mrs Vallery, who answered the phone took more care and attention to detail than any other law office, that I have called, in 2 years+. She diligently took notes to give to the lawyers and cared about my situation and let me actually tell everything without cutting me short. Out of over 100 law offices, this is rare treatment. Care. Consideration. That means more than anything going through this…

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!
My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
