Screening Errors and missed genetic disorders
Sometimes errors are made when a baby is screened before birth. Serious genetic disorders which could and should have been picked up are missed and parents are denied the opportunity to make crucial life-changing decisions.
These claims are known in the law as ‘wrongful birth claims’ and they arise when a baby is born with a serious life-threatening or life-changing condition or disability, which could and should have been detected before birth.
These claims are brought by parents who have been denied the opportunity to make crucial life-changing decisions.
