Pulaski & Middleman - Depakote Lawyers Helping You Get Started

If you took Depakote while you were pregnant and your child was born with birth defects as a result, you are obviously experiencing a plethora of emotions. However difficult it may seem, you owe it to your child to force your way past these emotions and to take action so that you can hold those responsible accountable. Before you contact the Depakote lawyers at Pulaski & Middleman to schedule a free initial consultation, consider the basic outline below so that your meeting with our Depakote lawyers will be as productive as possible.

Step One - Complete a Full Medical Evaluation

If your child suffers from the side effects associated with Depakote, including spina bifida, a cleft palate or any other malady, chances are that you already have seen a doctor several times in order to treat and manage these issues. However, for the purposes of fully evaluating your legal rights, schedule an appointment with your doctor to fully evaluate your child's condition and to work towards documenting the diagnosis, prognosis and if possible, the expected costs associated with the treatment your child will need throughout his or her life.

Step Two - Contact the Depakote Lawyers at Pulaski & Middleman

After you've completed your full medical evaluation, you need to contact a Depakote lawyer at Pulaski & Middleman to schedule a free initial consultation. You'll need to gather and organize all the documentation you received from your doctor so that you and your attorney can review it carefully.

Secondly, you should also gather any photos of your child, and past medical documentation regarding your child's condition and any insurance forms, bills and correspondence you exchanged with your policy underwriter. All of these documents could be important, and it's always better to bring too much documentation than not enough.

However, if you are unable to locate all the documents you think may be important, do not allow that contingency to prevent you from contacting a Depakote lawyer at Pulaski & Middleman. Your attorney will be able to obtain these documents should you decide to move forward.

As difficult as this time must be for you and your child, you are not without rights and options. Contact a Depakote lawyer at Pulaski & Middleman today to get the process of evaluating, protecting and, if advisable, enforcing your legal rights.
