Zoloft Craniosynostosis May Qualify Mothers for Legal Recourse

Zoloft craniosynostosis and other birth defects which allegedly resulted from use of the drug during pregnancy may qualify mothers for legal recourse. It has been reported that women taking this SSRI drug during pregnancy have an increased risk of delivering children with Zoloft craniosynostosis and other birth defects, and as a result, may be entitled to monetary damages. To find out if you can file a claim for your child’s Zoloft craniosynostosis, visit http://www.classaction.org/zoloft.html and complete the form on the right for a no cost, no risk review of your potential case. 

In addition to abdominal and heart abnormalities, Zoloft birth defects present in newborns of mothers taking the drug while pregnant can reportedly include skull defects. Zoloft craniosynostosis is a type of skull defect in which one or more sutures on the child’s head close earlier than normal. Symptoms which may indicate craniosynostosis may include the following: unusual head shape; lack of a soft spot on the child’s skull; minimal or no increase in head size over time; and a raised, hard ridge along the affected skull bones. While genes can play a role in the development of craniosynostosis, it has been reported that women taking Zoloft during pregnancy are also at risk for delivering a child with this skull defect.

While Zoloft craniosynostosis can be treated with surgery, parents of these children may struggle with medical bills from their child’s procedure. Those who elect to pursue a Zoloft lawsuit, however, may be able to recover the cost of these surgeries, in addition to other damages.
