NEW YORK TORT ATTORNEYS

Typically, toxic torts and chemical exposure can be directly traced back to one’s job. Dry cleaning and manufacturing workers are often exposed to Benzene, a kidney and blood cancer related solvent. Halogenated Carbon and Glycol Ethers are other toxic chemicals that workers may be exposed to in their jobs. All of these chemicals have been clearly identified as causes of cancer. By working closely with members of the medical and scientific profession, LPK toxic tort attorneys provide their clients with the assistance of New York specialists trained in epidemiology, toxicology, pharmacology, industrial hygiene, mineralogy, chemistry, dysmorphology, embryology, oncology, genetics, neurology, pathology, and occupational medicine.

The main problem with the toxic tort lawsuits surrounding the exposure of these chemicals is their latency period. Usually the toxic chemical exposure does not show any signs of damage until 10-30 years after the exposure. By this time, the worker may not still be working for the employer or does not think to link the toxic chemical exposure to the recent tort.

If you, or someone you know, may have been injured, on or off the job, as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals, heavy metals or dusts such as lead, mercury, tungsten, silica, manganese, photoresists, industrial alcohols, asbestos or radiation, contact our New York toxic tort attorneys.
