dangerous Drugs & medical exposure
Many drugs prescribed by doctors or available over the counter have since been shown to have extremely dangerous side effects and unintended consequences for patients. Likewise, medical equipment used during and after medical procedures like surgery are now known to cause major health problems.
Toxic Drugs & Medical Equipment include:
on-the-job toxic exposure
Unfortunately, many people experience toxic exposure just by going to work every day. Products used in the military, agriculture, and emergency response industries have had particularly dangerous products that have resulted in health conditions like cancer and hearing loss as well as respiratory disease and neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s Disease.
Toxic Product Exposure include:
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) also commonly called “firefighting foam” has been found to potentially cause many types of cancer. If you were exposed to AFFF either in a civilian or military capacity, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.
Derailments, spills, and air pollution
Negligent accidents happen every day that include the risk of dangerous chemical leaks, air pollution, and water poisoning. When an environmental disaster happens near you, it’s important to be aware of the potential effects and to speak with competent legal counsel about your rights should you or your family be exposed.
Recent Environmental Disasters include:
