A commonly litigated personal injury involves birth defects that result from exposure to toxins. The exposure may happen because of vehicle accidents, it may be a premise liability issue, it may result from purchasing or ingesting faulty products, or it may be due to poor workplace safety. Regardless of the cause, the birth defects caused by toxin exposure qualify as serious injuries that may even lead to a child's wrongful death. In any case, you deserve financial compensation if birth defects result from exposure to toxins.
