Understanding Gastroschisis And Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Gastroschisis is a rare birth defect where the intestines protrude outside the baby’s body through a hole near the belly button. Necrotizing enterocolitis is a serious condition that affects newborns, causing the death of intestinal tissue. Both conditions require medical attention and can have long-term implications. There is no prenatal care intervention available for these congenital defects.
Symptoms of gastroschisis may include a visible hole in the abdomen, while necrotizing enterocolitis may cause symptoms such as abdominal tenderness, vomiting and bloody stools.
Legal Aspects Of Medical Conditions
As a parent, you feel devastated to learn that your child’s condition may have been caused or exacerbated by medical negligence or malpractice. You have the right to hold those responsible for any wrongdoing accountable, and we can help you explore your legal options.
Gastroschisis and necrotizing enterocolitis cases often involve complex medical issues, and it is essential to have a lawyer who understands the intricacies of these conditions. A gastroschisis lawyer can help you investigate potential medical malpractice issues or product liability cases related to these conditions.
Why You Need A Lawyer

Pursuing Justice And Compensation
To successfully pursue a medical malpractice claim, several elements must be established:
- The existence of a duty of care between the health care provider and patient
- A breach of this duty through deviation from accepted medical standards
- A causal link between the breach and the injury sustained
- Demonstrable damages resulting from the injury
Collectively, these elements demonstrate negligence, which is essential for holding the medical professional legally accountable. To pursue a legal case, we will need to gather evidence, including medical records, witness statements and expert testimony. The potential outcomes of legal action may include compensation for damages, settlements or verdicts.
