Our team works with toxicologists, occupational medicine specialists, and environmental experts to document exposure and hold responsible parties accountable.

Attorney Services: Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Exposure Cases

Our personal injury attorney team answers common questions about chemical exposure cases:

Understanding Chemical Exposure

What types of chemical exposure cases do you handle?
We represent clients exposed to toxic chemicals in workplaces (refineries, factories, construction sites), through consumer products, and from environmental contamination. Common toxins include asbestos, benzene, heavy metals, pesticides, industrial solvents, and hazardous waste. We handle both acute exposures (sudden accidents) and chronic exposures (long-term contact).
How do I know if my illness is related to chemical exposure?
Many conditions have been linked to toxic exposure, including certain cancers, respiratory diseases, neurological disorders, birth defects, and skin conditions. If you worked with hazardous substances or lived near industrial facilities and developed unexplained health problems, you should consult both medical specialists and our attorneys to investigate the connection.
Who can be held liable for chemical exposure injuries?
Potentially responsible parties include employers, chemical manufacturers, property owners, facility operators, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and waste disposal companies. We investigate all possible sources of liability to maximize your recovery.

Legal Process & Timeline

How long do chemical exposure cases take to resolve?
These complex cases typically take 1-3 years, depending on case complexity, the number of defendants, and whether causation is contested. Some mesothelioma cases may be expedited due to the plaintiff’s health condition. We work efficiently while ensuring we build the strongest possible scientific case.
Will my chemical exposure case go to trial?
While many cases settle through negotiation, chemical exposure claims often involve substantial damages and causation disputes that increase the likelihood of trial. We prepare every case thoroughly for trial, which actually improves settlement offers and ensures we’re ready for court if necessary.

Fees & Representation

What is your fee structure for chemical exposure cases?
We work on contingency – you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery, ensuring our interests align with maximizing your compensation.

Case Evaluation & Compensation

What compensation might I receive for chemical exposure injuries?
Compensation may include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, medical monitoring costs, and potentially punitive damages against particularly negligent companies. In mesothelioma and other fatal illness cases, family members may also seek wrongful death damages.
Is there a time limit for filing a chemical exposure lawsuit?
Texas generally has a two-year statute of limitations from when you discovered or reasonably should have discovered your injury was related to chemical exposure. However, these cases often involve complex “discovery rule” issues, especially with diseases that develop years after exposure. Contact us promptly for an evaluation of your specific timeframe.
What if my exposure occurred decades ago or the company is no longer in business?
We can often still pursue compensation through successor companies, parent corporations, insurance policies, bankruptcy trust funds (particularly in asbestos cases), or multiple defendants who shared responsibility. Our investigative team specializes in tracking corporate histories and identifying all possible recovery sources.

Specialized Practice Questions

How do you prove that my illness was caused by chemical exposure rather than other factors?
We work with medical experts, toxicologists, and epidemiologists to establish the scientific link between your specific exposure and illness. We gather evidence including work histories, exposure records, safety data sheets, air/water monitoring data, and medical literature on established links between the chemicals and your condition.
