Toxic Tort Information Center Updated by Lawyer Central

Lawyer Central is pleased to announce that the Toxic Tort Information Center on LawyerCentral.com has been updated. Toxic tort law applies to cases in which an injury or illness is caused by exposure to a toxic substance or chemical.  The Toxic Tort Information Center provides legal help and information for consumers, as well as detailed articles about the laws governing environmental hazards and toxic chemicals.

Environmental hazards can occur when pollutants are illegally dumped. In addition to causing contamination of the air, water, and soil, these toxins can also cause physical injury and illness to workers, homeowners, and consumers. An overview of the laws governing environmental hazards, including the Clear Air Act and Clean Water Act, and a guide to environmental contamination clean up and recovery are available for site visitors to review. This section also includes information about how victims of environmental hazards can recover damages and receive compensation.

People can be exposed to toxic chemicals through pharmaceutical drugs and consumer products, as well as at home and in the workplace. Although there are hundreds of toxic substances, lead, asbestos, benzene, silica, and mold are among the most harmful. Toxic exposure cases can be particularly dangerous because the symptoms of exposure to a toxic chemical are not always apparent right away. Lawyer Central’s Toxic Tort Information Center provides an overview of toxic chemicals and their effects to help site visitors better understand the risk posed by these harmful substances.

If you or a loved one has become injured or ill due to contact with an environmental hazard or toxic chemical, Lawyer Central can connect you to a toxic tort attorney in your area. Complete the Free Case Evaluation form to have your claim reviewed by an experienced toxic tort lawyer from our national attorney network. Your attorney can determine whether you are eligible to file a toxic tort lawsuit, investigate who is responsible for your exposure to a dangerous substance, and fight to recover compensation on your behalf. If a large number of people were affected by the same product or substance that caused your injury, you may be able to join a class action lawsuit.
