Texas Chemical Contamination and Toxic Exposure Claims
The Houston personal injury attorneys at Hagood, Neumann & Huckeba, L.L.P. represent clients in cases involving serious injuries and health risks caused by chemical releases, soil contamination and resulting groundwater contamination, or other toxic exposure at home or at work. If you have grounds to suspect that toxic chemicals are responsible for health problems that you or a family member have experienced, contact us in Alvin or Laredo for a free consultation. Toxic exposure cases can be highly complex with significant time demands, both with difficult to prove facts and in terms of establishing a particular defendant's liability and in proving your actual damages. At Hagood, Neumann & Huckeba, L.L.P., our past success enables us to commit substantial investigative resources at our own risk to determine whether your chemical contamination claim stands a reasonable chance of success. The proof in toxic exposure claims tends to be highly technical and involves demonstrating that a particular release of dangerous chemicals has occurred at some point in the past, that it occurred in a particular concentration, that it took place through the negligence or indifference of a particular defendant, and that it has resulted in actual damages or identifiable risks. These might include:
Toxic exposure cases can result from a single release of a highly dangerous chemical from any worksite, rail or trucking accident, or from steady and cumulative contamination of soil and resulting groundwater over time. We handle cases involving petrochemicals, fluorochemicals, solvents, and heavy metals such as lead or arsenic. Especially in cases involving long-term discharges that affect an entire neighborhood's air quality or water supply over a period of years, we represent hundreds of clients in a single mass toxic tort lawsuit.
