Was Your Louisiana Community Affected By A Chemical Leak?

A toxic tort occurs when a negligent party or corporation intentionally or negligently causes an individual to be exposed to dangerous toxins, such as chemicals, asbestos, oil or mold. These cases can involve chemical exposure, inhalation exposure and environmental law claims.

If you work in or live near a petrochemical plant, refinery, oil fields or other industrial plants it is possible to be exposed to dangerous chemicals and suffer health problems as a result.

The Hale Injury Lawyers represents individuals and groups of people injured by harmful toxins, chemicals or pollutants. If you or a loved one was injured by a dangerous toxin or pollutant, we urge you to contact our law firm to assist you in understanding and protecting your legal rights.

If you believe that you were exposed to dangerous toxins at work or in your community and you begin to experience symptoms of an injury, you should seek legal advice immediately. Call 337-426-1071 (toll free at 877-596-5155) to schedule a free initial consultation.

The Symptoms Of Chemical And Dangerous Toxin Exposure

Under federal and state environmental regulations, corporations have a duty to properly handle, store and dispose of dangerous toxins and the failure to do so can cause serious adverse health consequences.

People have reported negative health effects from exposure to Benzene, EDC, vinyl chloride, hydrochloric acid and other dangerous chemicals. Health problems have been reported from long exposure to these toxins while at work, or through pollution of the air, water or on the ground for those living in the community.

Common symptoms of people who have been exposed to these and other hazardous chemicals include:

  • Nosebleeds
  • Sinus infections
  • Blurred vision
  • Burning sensation in nose and throat
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Irregular or rapid heartbeat
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Convulsions
  • Small red dots on the skin
