Our Houston Attorneys Handle Toxic Exposure Cases

Toxic exposure alters people’s lives on a daily basis. Toxic injury is often life-threatening and can be fatal. In many cases, victims of toxic poisoning may not even be aware they are being exposed to toxic chemicals. Perhaps there is asbestos in your building, maybe your work requires you to clean with toxic chemicals, or perhaps you are exposed to toxins because the grounds are kept clean with harmful pesticides.

Toxic exposure can lead to many diseases or organ failures, including:

  • Mesothelioma
  • Asbestosis
  • Liver failure
  • Respiratory problems
  • Heart failure
  • Lung disease
  • Cancers

If you or a family member was injured because of toxic exposure, you may have a toxic tort claim. You should consult an experienced lawyer to help you understand your rights, ensure your interests are protected and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions.

Common Types of Toxic Exposure in Texas

There are many types of toxic exposure that range in all age groups, from infants who may ingest lead paint to janitorial workers exposed to harmful toxins in cleaning solutions, to industry workers exposed to acids or other toxic chemicals in the course of their employment. We have listed some of the more common types of toxic exposures, but the list is by no means conclusive.

  • Chemical burns
  • Exposure to caustic substances
  • Exposure to noxious substances
  • Exposure to allergenic substances
  • Exposure to toxic chemical substances
  • Exposure to asbestos
  • Lead paint ingestion
  • Poisoning from chemicals on toys and certain paints

Frequently Asked Questions

The legal term for the time limit for filing a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is "statute of limitations." These filing deadlines vary from state to state, and can also vary depending on the type of claim being asserted. If a lawsuit is not within this time period, you may forfeit your right to seek compensation for any damages suffered. Learn more!

The short answer is nothing, unless and until a recovery/settlement is obtained in your case. Learn more!

Every case is different and presents unique factors, so no ethical attorney can determine in advance the exact amount that you will be able to recover.  Anyone who is willing to promise a result before thoroughly investigating and analyzing all aspects of your case should be viewed with skepticism.

The average case takes about 12 to 18 months, however, the time it takes to get through the claim resolution process varies quite a lot from case to case. If the evidence of liability is strong and there is little doubt as to the nature and extent of the plaintiff's injuries, the case should settle for a reasonable value within four to six months after the accident and completion of your medical treatment, without the need for litigation. Any number of factors can complicate and extend this timeframe. Learn more!

In most personal injury and wrongful death cases, you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the injury or death. In many situations involving auto accidents and or on the job injuries, you may be entitled to compensation even if you are partially to blame. Learn more!

Medical attention must be sought immediately, but a major concern among even those with health insurance is – will my health insurance cover the bills related to an auto accident or other injury causing incident. This is another reason to contact an attorney sooner rather than later.  If you don't have insurance or it does not appear that your health insurance will cover your medical expenses, a personal injury attorney will be able to help you get access to care.
