McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC has represented numerous clients in regard to personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits against physicians and hospitals alleging that the medical practitioners failed to follow proper medical practice in regard to the treatment afforded to a patient during pregnancy. These situations have led to catastrophic injuries for infants and their families who trusted their medical professional. The epilepsy drug Depakote has been linked to an increased risk of mental retardation and birth injuries when taken during pregnancy. According to reports since 2006, the risk of Depakote birth defects could be significantly greater when compared to the risks associated with alternative medications prescribed as an anticonvulsant. Approximately 24 million American women have taken anticonvulsant drugs for problems such as epilepsy, bipolar disorder and migraine headaches.

McGowan, Hood, and Felder, LLC is one of the most experienced medical malpractice law firms in the Southeast. Medical Malpractice can come in almost any form from missed test results, to ignorant physicians, to nurses who do not follow doctor’s orders.
