Causes of Birth Defects
Some birth defects happen because of mutations in genes or chromosomes. These problems can be inherited from parents who have these abnormalities or can result from new mutations occurring in a fertilized egg. These problems can affect the way the body functions or develops. These genetic issues could be severe or minor.
Birth problems can be caused by environmental factors during the fetal growth. Chemicals and toxins, including the ones found in industrial solvents (such as benzene) or trichloroethylene, which is used in dry cleaning, and perchloroethylene used in degreasing metals and painting) can cause birth defects. They can also be exposure to arsenic and lead, mercury or other heavy metals used in the manufacturing process or in power plants. These harmful substances, also called teratogens, could cause serious harm to a growing baby.
Medical professionals can cause birth defects through negligence. For instance they may fail to diagnose or treat a mother's health issue during pregnancy or even after the baby is born. A doctor can be negligent when they prescribe medications that can cause birth defects, or administer medication incorrectly. A medical malpractice case could be brought against the doctor who caused the negligence. A birth injury lawsuit may be filed against an employer who places pregnant workers in a situation that exposes them to toxic substances.
Medical Malpractice
Birth defects are structural changes to the body that have negative consequences on its appearance or function. These conditions can be severe and can affect any part of the body according to the CDC.
If the child is born with a birth defect, parents are often interested in knowing why the condition developed. Medical negligence or exposures to teratogen chemicals are the most frequently cited causes. A birth defect lawyer with years of experience can assist families in investigating the causes of birth defects and then file a lawsuit against those responsible.
In the majority of instances, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases involving birth injuries is just one year. Parents need to act quickly upon identifying a birth defect and linking it to the cause of the injury. This includes gathering bills and receipts, payment from credit cards and other evidence to support the claim for compensation.
It is beneficial to have more time to process the traumatizing event of discovering the child has a birth defect or injury, but this is not an option when you are attempting to file a legal claim. This is why it's crucial to find a reputable birth defect lawyer and birth injury attorney who will take care of all the previous steps promptly.

Exposure to Toxics
Many people are exposed to chemicals and toxins on a daily basis in their jobs or in their surroundings. Unfortunately certain chemicals have been found to cause birth defects (teratogens) and may harm babies. Parents who believe their child has an abnormal birth result due to exposure to chemicals could be qualified for compensation.
The exposure to chemicals during pregnancy is among the main causes of birth defects. Certain of these substances such as toxic solvents that are used in the industry of manufacturing semiconductors are known to cause a range of birth defects in newborn children. Our firm has handled many cases against the largest companies around the world in these matters, resulting in billions of dollars in settlement agreements.
In in utero exposure to organic solvents, such as toluene Trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE), as well as benzene and vinyl chloride at Camp Lejeune, are known to increase the risk of childhood birth defects and hematopoietic cancers. Additionally, prescription medications such as selective serotonin receptor inhibitors (SSRIs) have been shown to be associated with various birth defects.
