Birth defects and birth injuries are usually the result of environmental and genetic causes, however, they could also be caused by an error by a doctor.

Toxic Chemicals
In the United States, thousands of babies are born each year with birth defects. These defects vary in severity and affect how a child appears, behaves and performs in life. Some are minor, but others can cause serious problems and even be fatal.
The reasons for a child's birth defects could be due to genetic abnormalities or a range of environmental and chemical factors. Exposure to toxic chemicals, for instance can trigger serious complications in babies. Our company is committed to ensuring that employers are held accountable when they expose pregnant mothers or their unborn babies to harmful medications or substances.
It is well-established in scientific literature that certain toxins and chemicals can pass through the placenta to affect the unborn baby. These chemicals are referred to as teratogenic. These teratogenic chemicals can cause birth defects like lips, palates, and clefts as well as spina bifida.
While they are working, many mothers are exposed a variety of toxic chemicals. These chemicals can be inhaled, ingested or simply absorbed through the skin. These chemicals include industrial solvents like ethylene glycol ethers (EGE) used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Parents can also be exposed poisons when they consume certain over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Many pharmaceuticals have not been adequately tested on pregnant woman and have resulted in birth defects.
Environmental Exposure
While genetic disorders are one of the most frequent causes of birth defects, environmental exposure is also a major factor. The presence of many different chemicals and toxins at the home, at work and in food can increase the risk of birth defects. Pesticides and fungicides are among the most common. Paints, heavy metals heavy pigments, certain chemicals are also included. Exposure to toxic substances is nearly always inevitable. If employers fail to protect their pregnant employees, this is a breach of duty and they could be held accountable.
Researchers are still trying to determine the specific cause of a birth defect. It is possible that an interaction between several factors can cause the condition, but the difficulty is assessing these interactions in real-time. This is why the National Children's Study, now being conducted in a number of states, is so important. The NCS will enroll 100,000 women from a representative population and follow them throughout their lives as well as their children. This study will provide comprehensive data on the effects of environmental factors on the health of infants and children.
Many parents who are suffering from a birth defect in their child feel guilty that they may have contributed to the condition, however it is often the case that these kinds of issues are unavoidable. Our birth defect lawyers are aware of this and are dedicated in helping families with children who have birth defects.
