California Chemical Birth Defect Attorney

Claims for Chemical Birth Defects in CA

Chemical birth defects include such things as cleft lip or palate, missing or not fully developed organs, leukemia, limbs that are deformed or missing, cancer of the eye and an abnormal brain or spine. Being exposed to certain chemicals while pregnant can bring about such defects in your newborn. A man exposed to chemicals can also increase the risk of having a child with such a defect.

There are high risk occupations that are surrounded by dangerous chemicals which are acknowledged causes of these defects. Dry cleaners, florists, mechanics, beauticians, x-ray technicians, printers and painters, as well as those that work around gasoline or electronic chip manufacturing plants, can all be at risk. Prescription drugs, including antidepressants, can also cause birth defects. If you were exposed to dangerous chemicals which you feel caused your newborn's birth defect, retain the services of a California birth injury lawyer.
