Birth birth defects and birth injuries can be caused by genetic or environmental causes, but sometimes they arise due to an error or negligence of a physician.

A successful medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases requires that the doctor had a duty to the patient of care, that the doctor violated that duty, the doctor's negligence or failure to act led directly to injuries and damages, and that the victim was harmed economically and non-economically due to the injuries.
