Toxic Substance Litigation We represent people who become seriously ill because of occupational exposure to dangerous materials, such asbestos and silica. Filing a successful claim after a diagnosis requires as much information you can obtain about where and how you were exposed. Often times, the first step in building your case may be to research the substance’s history, its uses and common exposure sites. Legal Remedies & Solutions There are legal remedies for nearly every person who suffers disease or disability as a result of exposure to asbestos or silica. Each of these remedies is a means of recovering compensation. The usual source of compensation is a lawsuit filed in state court against the manufacturers of the asbestos-containing or silica-containingproducts to which one was exposed, the manufacturers of the respiratory protective devices you used and/or the manufacturers of the sandblasting equipment that you used.
However, today many asbestos product manufacturers are in bankruptcy. Claims against such companies can only be pursued in bankruptcy court. Claims for workers' compensation and Social Security disability benefits are also a possible source of compensation. |
