Chemical and Mold Exposure Claims
Attorneys Serving Oakland, San Francisco and Northern California
While injury and illness from exposure to dangerous chemicals is all too common, isolating and proving which chemical caused the harm can be difficult At The Law Offices of Hinton Alfert Sumner & Kaufmann, our attorneys have succeeded in such challenging cases involving exposure to toxic substances. We have been able to identify the cause of the serious illnesses or injuries, determine the source of the toxic material and vigorously pursue compensation for people injured or for the families of those killed after being exposed to harmful substances.
Our law firm is known for building strong personal injury cases based on sophisticated technical and legal analysis. We consult with experts and specialists to identify the substance, determine the mechanism of exposure and prove how the injury or illness occurred. These cases often require us to work with chemists, industrial specialists and experts in industrial illnesses, and other medical professionals.
Chemical Exposure
Our lawyers have won recoveries for people who were exposed to:
- Solvents and petroleum products
- Benzene
- Dioxins
- PVC
- Pesticides such as DDT
- Naphtha
Exposure to substances such as these in the workplace and elsewhere can lead to serious illness or death. In addition, a wide array of common household chemicals, including cleaning products, weed killers and other consumer products can cause serious harm.
Mold and Fungus Exposure
In many mold cases, the problem arises not from a chemical introduced into the environment, but from building conditions that promote the growth of mold and mildew. These conditions can arise from a leak that was not fixed or an air vent that was positioned to accumulate moisture. In fungus cases, such as Valley Fever, the fungus can simply be in the air from agricultural activity, construction or road building.
Seeking Maximum Compensation
Our attorneys have prevailed in many toxic exposure cases, obtaining compensation for people who suffered occupational illness or disability that prevented them from working and for people whose loved one died as a result of mold, fungus or chemical exposure. We have obtained payment for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, ongoing medical care and other costs of the injury or illness.
