The causes of a child's birth defects can be attributed to genetic abnormalities or a range of environmental and chemical factors. Exposure to toxic chemicals, for instance causes serious complications in a newborn. Our firm is committed to holding employers accountable when they expose pregnant women or their unborn children to harmful chemicals or medications.

Many mothers are exposed many harmful chemicals when they are working. These chemicals can be inhaled, consumed or absorbed through the skin. These chemicals comprise industrial solvents such as ethylene glycol ethers (EGE) employed in the manufacture of semiconductors. Parents may be exposed to these chemicals when they consume certain prescription and over-the-counter drugs. This is because many pharmaceuticals are not adequately tested on pregnant women and have been proven to cause birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

Environmental exposure is one of the main causes of birth defects. Genetic disorders are a common cause, but it's not the only reason. Many different chemicals and toxins that are present in the home, workplace and food can increase the chance of having a birth defect. This includes fungicides, pesticides, lead, heavy metals, certain paints and other chemical substances. Exposure to these toxins is almost always inevitable. If businesses fail to protect their pregnant employees, it is negligence and they can be held accountable.

Researchers are still unable to pinpoint exactly what causes a particular birth defect. It is possible that a combination of factors may cause the condition. The challenge is to study these interactions in real-time. The National Children's Study is important since it is currently in process across several states. The NCS will enroll 100,000 women from a representative population and follow their progress over time, as well as their children. This study will provide most comprehensive information about how environmental factors impact fetal and childhood health.

Our birth defect lawyers have successfully pursued claims against drug manufacturers in cases where a mother's health care provider has been exposed to prescription medicines or toxic chemicals that increase the chance of her child developing birth defects.
