If you believe toxic exposure has affected your health or the health of someone you love, contact our team to discuss your circumstances.
What Is a Toxic Tort?
A toxic tort is a civil claim involving harm allegedly caused by exposure to a dangerous substance. Exposure may occur through contaminated air, drinking water, soil, consumer products, or a work environment.
Some incidents involve a sudden chemical release. Others involve repeated exposure over time. Identifying the substance, understanding the exposure, and investigating its potential connection to a diagnosed condition are important parts of evaluating a claim.
Exposure alone does not establish that a person has a lawsuit. Each potential case requires an individual review.
Toxic Exposure Concerns We Can Evaluate
Potential toxic exposure matters may involve:
- Contaminated drinking water: Concerns involving chemicals in public water supplies or private wells.
- Industrial emissions: Potential exposure to substances released by manufacturing, processing, or sterilization facilities.
- Chemical spills and releases: Incidents involving fumes, leaks, fires, or other releases of hazardous substances.
- Dangerous products: Potential exposure to harmful substances in products used at home or at work.
- Work-related exposure: Questions involving chemicals, dust, solvents, or other substances encountered on the job.
- Contaminated property: Concerns involving hazardous substances in soil, groundwater, or nearby industrial areas.
The substance involved, available evidence, medical findings, and applicable law help determine whether a matter can move forward.
How a Potential Toxic Exposure Claim Is Evaluated
A serious diagnosis can leave families searching for answers. Evaluating a potential claim begins with understanding your individual history.
Questions may include:
- What substance may have been involved?
- Where and when did the exposure occur?
- How long and how frequently were you exposed?
- What symptoms or diagnoses have been documented?
- Are testing results, public notices, or incident reports available?
- What does the scientific evidence show about the substance and the condition?
- Which businesses or other parties may have been involved?
Depending on the case, further investigation may require medical records, environmental records, product information, and qualified experts.
What Should You Save?
If you are concerned about a possible exposure, useful information may include:
- Medical records and the dates of symptoms or diagnoses.
- A timeline of where you lived, worked, or attended school.
- Water testing results, environmental reports, and public notices.
- Product names, packaging, labels, and receipts.
- Photographs and correspondence about the incident.
- Names of witnesses or others with relevant information.
- Records of medical expenses, missed work, and other losses.
