Toxic Torts
|
At Catalano & Catalano, we represent clients throughout California, in filing chemical injury and toxic tort lawsuits. We represent individuals who have suffered illness, injury or death of a loved one due exposure to environmental contaminants, solvents used in the workplace, or from chemical injuries resulting from exposure to harmful consumer products. Exposure to a toxic substance can occur primarily in one or more of three ways: By swallowing the chemical, by breathing it into the lungs or through contact with the skin. It can occur when a person is directly working with chemicals such as hydrocarbon solvents, including benzene, TCE or PCBs. Exposure can also occur when dangerous chemicals are dumped into the waterways or aquifers that supply your water, or by exposure to fumes or toxic dusts in the air you breathe. Usually, but not always, when a person is exposed to the point that a disease occurs, the exposure occurs over a long period of time. But many cases of mesothelioma have been diagnosed based upon relatively short exposures to asbestos. No matter what the nature of your toxic injury might be, the attorneys of Catalano & Catalano can help you. We offer experienced and knowledgeable legal guidance in a professional atmosphere. The key to effectively defending a toxic tort case is to have a good understanding of the science behind how the human body absorbs and distributes chemical toxins after the initial exposure. At Catalano & Catalano, we work closely with medical, pharmacological, and toxicological experts in order to identify the specific substances involved in your claim, as well as their most likely source and the parties to be held accountable. If you have any legal questions regarding an illness, injury or death of a loved one due to exposure to a toxic substance, contact Catalano & Catalano today for a free consultation. We are truly committed to achieving fair and just results. Our experience will prove beneficial in valuing your case, assisting in determining if any settlement offers are fair, or deciding whether you should proceed to trial. |
