The link between toxic substances and serious health problems becomes clearer every day. In many cases, it is difficult to determine if exposure to toxic chemicals has caused or contributed to a health issue. Some may experience cancer, birth defects in their children or other complications as a direct result of a specific toxic exposure or series of exposures.

Workers in dangerous jobs, tenants of careless landlords and people who live near polluting corporations are among the people most at risk for environmental injury; however, anyone who is exposed to chemicals or hazardous toxins could potentially be in danger. When a toxic injury can be traced back to a specific product, person, or company, the victim may be able to take legal action and pursue a claim for compensation.

Risks and Complications of Toxic Injuries

​Some of the many potential consequences of exposure to toxins or chemicals include, but are not limited to:

  • Chemical burns
  • Skin conditions
  • Respiratory problems, including COPD
  • Birth defects
  • Cancer
  • Asbestosis

Unfortunately, often the consequences of toxic injuries do not become apparent until weeks, months, or years after the initial exposure. This can make toxic injury cases difficult to prove without the help of a skilled attorney.

Who Is Responsible?

​There are many potential ways to recover compensation for toxic injuries:

  • If you are harmed due to workplace exposure, you can pursue a workers’ compensation claim.
  • If a defective or dangerous product harms you, such as ASBESTOS products, you can sue the manufacturer.
  • You can sue a landlord or property owner who failed to protect you from hazards such as lead paint or radon.

You can retain an attorney and pursue legal action against a company that pollutes or does not dispose of chemical or biological waste properly, causing community exposure.

How Can a Sunset Hills Chemicals Exposure Attorney Help You?

​To recover monetary damages, you must show that a toxin or hazard caused you actual harm for which you can be compensated.
