Do Clients Have a Toxic Tort Claim? EXPOSING THE TRUTH
over $2,000. However, in toxic tort claims, the challenge isn’t in proving that a client has been hurt, but in proving why they were hurt.
Personal injury cases are usually straightforward. When someone is hurt as a result of another person’s negligence, the responsible party is plain to see. Unfortunately, when it comes to toxic tort claims, the unique nature of these cases means even the client may not be aware that their pain is due to the negligence of another person or company. Ideally, the products we interact with in our homes and workplaces should be as safe as possible. But at Case Barnett Law, we have worked with many clients who have suffered illness, infection, or injury because they were exposed to a harmful substance in their environment. Many toxic tort claims revolve around exposure to the following harmful substances:
Take cases involving asbestos, for example. Once used in everything from clothing to building materials, asbestos was eventually linked to a lung cancer called mesothelioma, so manufacturers cracked down on its use. But asbestos was still present in industrial applications, which put workers at risk. Tragically, many of these workers were sure to develop mesothelioma. When a person is diagnosed with mesothelioma and they suspect asbestos is to blame, it falls on the injured victim and their attorney to prove that they were exposed to asbestos in their workplace. This can be nearly impossible when a person didn’t start showing symptoms of mesothelioma until decades after their initial exposure. Our firm is proud to represent accident victims who were injured due to toxic substances. If you have a client you suspect may have a toxic tort claim and aren’t sure how to proceed, please give us a call at 949-565-4886. We would love to have you as a referral partner and welcome the opportunity to fight for clients who have been the victims of negligence in these challenging cases.
