Environmental Contamination
consumer injury lawyer | Sunday, May 17th, 2009 | No Comments »Every day, countless individuals are exposed to high levels of dangerous toxins that linger unseen in their environment. Some of these toxins are natural, others man-made, yet both can cause serious injury—especially to the young or infirm. Such injury from toxins is known as toxic tort, and millions of Americans suffer from it every year.
The Potts Law Firm cares about your health. We are fierce and tenacious litigators who will not stop until we’ve reached the justice you deserve. Our toxic tort attorneys have extensive experience handling environmental contamination litigation, including Attorney Mark Sadaka, whose background in environmental toxicology gives him the leading edge in environmental contamination cases.
Groundwater pollution is one of the most common causes of environmental contamination. Although it’s well-known that groundwater pollution develops near landfills and hazardous waste sites, many people don’t realize that it can occur right in their own backyard—from faulty septic systems or fertilizers and other chemicals, including hexavalent chromium (chromium VI), mercury, trichloroethylene (TCE), benzene, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), perchlorate, and pesticides. Once ingested, such toxins can cause severe illness.
The most prevalent source of toxic tort, however, comes directly from large corporations. Employees, consumers, and the general public alike have experienced painful injury and long-term illness due to corporate negligence. Contaminated pharmaceuticals, chemical pollutants in the workplace, asbestos, and many other toxins cause a span of injuries, including brain damage, lung failure, cancer, and birth defects. Many tort cases involve class action suits against the corporation responsible for these illnesses, helping individuals pull together as a group to find justice.
