Toxic Exposure & Environmental Injuries

Pollution of the air, water, or earth by deadly toxic substances can cause disability and death to the people exposed to these poisons, destroy families and neighborhoods, and slash property values for those who live near the sources of the pollution.

Environmental injuries can happen in a flash, such as when as when a truck loaded with harmful chemicals crashes on a roadway or an accident happens at an industrial facility.

Types of environmental injuries we handle include:

  • Chemical crashes and spills
  • Hazardous waste crashes
  • Industrial chemical accidents

Exposure to toxic substances also can happen over a long period of time — such as when gasoline slowly seeps from an underground storage tank, contaminating the surrounding earth and groundwater.

Types of toxic exposures we handle include:

In most cases, it would be impossible for victims to have protected themselves from exposure to these potentially deadly substances.
