Environmental Injuries

Parts of the country have high concentrations of heavy industry, high tech factories, oil and natural gas drilling, petroleum refineries and chemical plants. They use, emit and dispose of highly toxic chemicals that could injure and kill people unaware of their dangers and possibly unaware of their presence.  Injury.co.com helps those injured by exposure to toxic substances and chemicals obtain the compensation they need due to the harm they’ve endured.

We can file an environmental injury lawsuit, also known as a toxic tort case, for a person seriously injured due to hazardous chemical exposure. This claim would seek compensation due to the plaintiff’s health, financial situation or property damage due to a toxic substance.

Some of the more dangerous substances include,

• Asbestos was largely banned in the 1970’s but continues to be used in some products. Those working in construction, the power industry and in shipyards had some of the worst exposure to this mineral, which has been linked to asbestosis and various types of cancer.
• Lead is toxic to children. It can be found in paint made before 1978. Improperly removing this paint can put particles of it into the air, resulting in lead exposure.
• Exposure to some types of mold can cause severe breathing problems.
• Arsenic in water can cause cancer. The chemical was used in some pressure-treated wood products.
• Benzene is used in manufacturing and is part of many petroleum products.
