Environmental toxic torts

Chemical toxins enter our air, soil and water every day. In many cases, chemicals in our environment can have a drastic impact on the health of the local population. Food, drinking water and the air we breathe can all be polluted and cause devastating effects in the people who intake the chemicals. In many cases, the results of this pollution cannot be seen until years later when the victims begin developing cancer or their children are born with birth defects. If you or a loved one has been injured due to contact with a toxic substance, an Orange County personal injury attorney can help.

Every year, thousands of people are victimized by chemical exposure. Unfortunately, because the effects of this contact are often delayed, it may be hard to recognize what has caused these injuries. If you believe you and your neighbors may have been exposed to dangerous toxins, an Orange County personal injury lawyer can help you track down the source of your ailments. Common toxins include pesticides, toxic waste, radiation, toxic mold, and manganese fumes. Injuries commonly developed due to exposure with these substances include cancer, chemical burns, birth defects, brain damage, liver damage and heart disease.

Once you have identified the cause of your illness, you may then be able to recognize the party responsible for putting you in contact with the toxins. At this point, you and your Orange County personal injury attorney can take legal action against the party that has wronged you. You may be entitled to punitive damages, medical expenses, lost wages, compensation for your pain and suffering, and more.

If you believe your family has been victimized after contact with a toxin, please call the offices of Purcell Law and schedule a free initial consultation with a top Orange County personal injury lawyer.
