The nationwide Celexa birth defect lawyer at Schultz & Myers are investigating claims on behalf of mothers and their newborn children due to recent developments regarding SSRIs.  A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) is the classification of medications that the anti-depressant Celexa falls into.  Our attorneys are currently taking calls from parents who claim that while pregnant, a mother was prescribed and ingested and SSRI such as Celexa, and have a child that has been diagnosed with any birth defect. 

Celexa birth defects can result in persistent pulmonary hypertension, a lung defect that can require a lifetime of medical expenses.  Other birth defects include heart defects, stomach/intestinal defects, and defects of the cranium.  If you were pregnant and took Celexa during your pregnancy, especially during the third trimester, contact a Celexa drug defect lawyer immediately to see you have a cause of action for financial compensation.

Celexa settlements may eventually be obtained if your attorney puts the company on notice of your claim and is able to successfully argue "causation" in your case.  Causation is the link between the drug and the birth defect.  This is commonly proven with expert testimony from expert physicians that do not have a stake in the litigation.  Your lawyer can explain this in further detail.

The drug defect injury lawyers at Schultz & Myers have office locations in Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas, and handle cases on a nationwide basis.  These attorneys are top rated in personal injury and wrongful death litigation.  It is imperative that any consumer who has been injured by a dangerous or defective drug hold the company accountable.  This is the basis of the checks and balances afforded by the US Constitution and the civil justice system.
