Birth defects often result from various factors, including genetics or environmental factors. Birth injuries are preventable. However, birth defects aren’t always preventable. You can sue for birth injuries as they are a result of negligence. However, you can only sue for congenital disabilities if they were a result of the negligence of another party e.g. if the defect occurred as a result of the use of a defective drug, you can pursue compensation from the manufacturer of the drug.
