Toxic
torts involve exposure of individuals, often large
numbers of individuals, to harmful chemical or biological
substances that can cause permanent injury or death.
Exposure to asbestos, toxic mold, benzene, welding rod
fumes, mercury and lead can cause life threatening
injuries. When exposure to a toxic substance results from
the negligence, carelessness, or deception the injured
party is usually entitled to compensation.
Exposure to toxic substances is particularly harmful for
industrial workers who may have been exposed to high
levels of toxins over a long period of time, with or
without being aware of the risks. Industrial workers have
high incidences of Mesothelioma
and other asbestos related diseases. However, asbestos
and other toxic substances can even harm people who just
live or work in a contaminated building. Children are
also at great risk of exposure to toxic substances, as
their play habits can put them in direct contact with
harmful toxins. This is particularly true of lead paint,
as children often play with or even ingest harmful lead
paint particles.
