(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 18, 2011 ) New York, NY – Women who delivered children with oral birth defects after taking Topamax or its generic version topiramate during pregnancy may have legal recourse to recover compensation for damages. In March, the FDA announced a link between the seizure medication and oral clefts, and as a result, women who took Topamax during pregnancy and bore children with cleft palates or cleft lips may be able to participate in a Topamax lawsuit to recover compensation for medical bills and other damages. To find out if you have legal recourse for your child’s Topamax birth defects, visit http://www.classaction.org/topamax.html and fill out the short form on the right for a no cost, no obligation review of your claim.
The treatment of Topamax birth defects can result in expensive medical bills, the cost of which could be recovered through a Topamax lawsuit. Depending on the extent of the Topamax birth defects, several surgeries may be required. A cleft palate generally requires one to two surgical procedures, with the first procedure taking place by the time the child reaches three months of age. A Topamax cleft palate, on the other hand, will typically require several surgeries performed over the course of 18 years. In addition, if the Topamax birth defect leads to other, non-cosmetic problems, dental repair, speech therapy, hearing loss treatment and emotional counseling may also be needed.
Both surgical and non-surgical treatment of Topamax birth defects can extend over the course of several years and place a financial burden on the childÂ’s parents. Those who elect to seek legal recourse for their childÂ’s Topamax birth defects, however, may be able to recover the cost of these treatments, in addition to other damages. To find out if you may be entitled to financial compensation, visit Class Action.org to receive a free evaluation of your claim.
