Exposure to harmful substances like lead, chemical fumes, and asbestos can cause serious health problems like cancer and other degenerative diseases. Big companies that manufacture pesticides, fuels, and other items that produce toxic byproducts may say that these incidents are risks you must take when living in a big city.
But there are regulations and environmental codes that they must comply with for public safety. If they are negligent in complying with these, and it leads to injury, they could be held liable.
If you or a loved one have developed diseases or became ill from exposure to any toxins or contaminants in the State of New York, call the Porter Law Group today for a free consultation and help evaluate your case.
Toxic torts are lawsuits that a group of defendants can file against companies who manufacture and spread harmful substances that cause health issues upon exposure.

Toxic torts involve legal claims arising from exposure to dangerous chemicals, pollutants, or other harmful substances that cause injury, illness, or property damage. These substances can be encountered in various settings, such as the workplace, homes, or the environment.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to toxic exposure from harmful products, negligently handled waste products, or negligent production practices, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses, including:
Toxic exposure and toxic torts cases can be daunting. You are not up against another private citizen or a small business that wronged you. These lawsuits may implicate multiple companies involved in the production, distribution, and marketing of harmful substances.
