What Is Toxic Exposure?

Toxic exposure refers to the harmful contact with or ingestion of substances that can lead to adverse health effects.

What Are Some Ways You Can Be Exposed to Toxic Chemicals?

There are several common ways you can be exposed to toxic chemicals. These include:

• Workplace exposure. Many Texans work in industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, petrochemicals, or agriculture, which use hazardous chemicals.
• Environmental contamination. Texas is home to various industries with the potential to contaminate the environment. Contaminants can seep into the soil, water, and air, affecting nearby communities.
• Pharmaceutical and consumer products. Toxic exposure can also result from using defective or harmful pharmaceutical drugs, cosmetics, or consumer products.
• Home and residential areas. Individuals may sometimes face toxic exposure in their homes due to faulty construction materials, lead-based paint, or mold infestations.
• Natural disasters. Hurricanes, floods, and wildfires can release harmful substances into the environment, affecting communities and causing toxic exposure.

Each of these situations can expose you to toxic substances, which can lead to serious health injuries.

What Are Some Common Health Effects of Toxic Exposure?

Toxic exposure can lead to a wide range of health problems, including:

• Respiratory issues
• Skin disorders
• Cancer
• Neurological disorders
• Birth defects
• Organ damage
• Mental health issues

The health effects of toxic exposure can be either short- or long-term. Short-term health effects are often apparent immediately and can range in severity. Long-term health effects usually happen over time and are often permanent.

Can I File a Lawsuit?

If you have been exposed to a toxic substance, you may be able to file a lawsuit and recover damages. Depending on the circumstances of your exposure, there are several legal claims a chemical exposure attorney may want to pursue:

• Personal injury. You may file a personal injury lawsuit if you’ve suffered physical or psychological harm due to toxic exposure resulting from someone else’s negligence.
• Workers’ compensation. If a toxic substance injures you while at work, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim. It is important to note that in Texas, workers’ compensation coverage is not mandatory for employers, and if they don’t have this coverage, you can’t pursue a workers’ compensation claim.
• Toxic tort. Toxic tort claims are specific to harm caused by exposure to harmful substances. These claims can involve multiple plaintiffs exposed to the same chemicals.
• Product liability. A product liability claim may be applicable if a defective product or equipment caused the exposure.
• Environmental lawsuits. Environmental laws may have been violated in some cases, leading to chemical exposure. Environmental lawsuits can address these violations.

To pursue these legal claims, it is essential to consult a chemical exposure lawyer so they can help you determine the best course of action.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. From day one, they took great care of me—not just as a client, but as a person. Throughout the entire injury case from my car accident, they kept me informed, made sure I felt supported, and handled every step with professionalism and confidence. At the end of the day, they got the job done. Grateful to have had them in my corner. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.

When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance.
I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case.
I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, o call Armstrong and Lee. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take.
Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family.
I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me.
In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me!
If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
