Toxic Exposure Lawyers in New York
Industrial chemicals are highly regulated for good reason. They are incredibly harmful when leaked into our environment or used incorrectly. Businesses and individuals who do handle harsh chemicals must take the necessary safety precautions.
One of the biggest issues with toxic tort lawsuits regarding the exposure of industrial chemicals is their latency period. Toxic chemical exposure doesn’t show signs for damage of some 10 – 30 years after exposure. By then, workers may not be with the same company or may not link the chemical exposure to the tort.
Toxic exposure is a complex area of the law. Fortunately, our team at Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP have been successful in both settlements and substantial jury verdicts for our clients.
