Topamax Cleft Palate, Lip May Qualify Mothers for Legal Recourse

Women who delivered children with Topamax cleft palates or cleft lips may have legal recourse. New data has linked Topamax to an increased risk of oral birth defects in newborns of women taking the drug during pregnancy, and as a result, users who delivered children with oral clefts may be able to file a Topamax lawsuit. If you took Topamax during pregnancy and delivered a child with a cleft lip or cleft palate, learn your legal rights today. Visit http://www.classaction.org/topamax.html to learn more about Topamax clefts and to receive a free case evaluation, which can help determine your eligibility for legal recourse. 

Topamax cleft lips and cleft palates may need both surgical and non-surgical treatment, the cost of which could be recovered should the mother successfully file a Topamax lawsuit. Depending on the severity of the Topamax birth defect, several surgical procedures may be required. While a cleft lip typically requires one or two surgeries, children born with cleft palates generally undergo several procedures over the span of 18 years. Should the Topamax birth defect lead to non-cosmetic problems, speech therapy, counseling and dental work may also be needed. 

Treatment for Topamax clefts may extend over the course of several years and involve a wide range of medical professionals, including cosmetic surgeons, speech therapists and audiologists. These treatments can be costly; however, women who choose to pursue legal recourse for their child’s Topamax cleft may be able to recover the cost of these medical treatments, in addition to other damages.
