Valuable, In-Depth Knowledge of Environmental Laws

He brings to every toxic tort claim valuable, in-depth knowledge of environmental laws and regulations that govern the operation of facilities that handle toxic chemicals.

We encourage you to seek legal help as soon as you can. Toxic torts claims are time-sensitive, and it is important to have an attorney representing you from the onset of your illness or injury.

After a Chemical Exposure or Plant Explosion

A chemical exposure can involve occupational exposure at workplace or third party exposure, such as where an employee works at a third party site or if you live in an area that is subjected to a constant chemical release. Chemical exposures can also occur as part of a plant explosion, resulting not only in burns, scarring and disfigurement, but a wide range of exposure-related illnesses.

Exposure to chemicals like asbestos, benzene and chlorine gas often occurs through topical absorption through the skin, and it can result in serious injuries.

Immediate effects can include

  • lung burn
  • skin irritation
  • cough,
  • watering eyes
  • vision problems

Long-term effects can be catastrophic, even fatal. Clients may be facing serious conditions like cancer, kidney damage, liver damage, neuropathy, retinal damage and brain damage.

Litigation of Toxic Tort Claims

If you have been injured or lost a loved one as a result of a toxic tort, we understand what stressful experiences you are going through. Besides long term medical care, frequent doctor visits, these claims can result in drawn-out litigation with large corporations and insurance companies.

Our firm is uniquely qualified to handling toxic torts litigation and is committed to protecting the rights of the injured or those who have lost a family member from exposure to asbestos, benzene and other toxins. Victims of a chemical exposure, chemical fire or plant explosion may be entitled to receive compensation for loss of consortium, pain and suffering, loss of future wages and loss of future benefits. In every case, we will aggressively fight to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation possible for your losses.
