Below are the key toxic exposure and environmental injury lawsuits we litigate nationwide – ranging from asbestos and gadolinium harm to hair relaxer and wildfire smoke injuries.

Mesothelioma Lawsuit

Asbestos fibers in construction materials can lie dormant for decades before triggering mesothelioma. We help construction workers, industrial employees, and veterans secure significant settlements for medical treatment, lost wages, and wrongful death.

NSF / NFD From Gadolinium MRI Contrast Lawsuit

Gadolinium‐based MRI contrast agents have been linked to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) and nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD). Our team holds manufacturers accountable for failing to warn patients with kidney impairment – pursuing compensation for medical bills and long-term care.

Hair Relaxer Lawsuit

Chemical straighteners containing DEHP, parabens, and formaldehyde are tied to uterine, ovarian, and breast cancers – disproportionately affecting Black women. We coordinate MDL 3084 in Chicago, fighting to recover medical costs, pain & suffering, and lost quality of life.

How Toxic Exposure & Environmental Injury Lawsuits Work

Hazardous-substance cases follow a distinct path compared to standard personal-injury suits.

Our Six-Step Process for Toxic Exposure & Environmental Injury Lawsuits

  • Mass-Tort Consolidations & Group Actions: We centralize cases in MDLs or state-court group actions to streamline discovery while preserving each plaintiff’s individual damages.
  • Environmental Sampling & Toxicology Reports: Air, soil, water, and tissue testing link the contaminant to your illness or property loss.
  • Complex Causation Proof: We use epidemiology, medical literature, and dose-modeling to show the toxin more-likely-than-not caused your condition (e.g., mesothelioma, NSF).
  • Specialized Expert Testimony: Toxicologists, fire-origin investigators, and industrial hygienists translate complex science into courtroom language juries can trust.
  • Damages Assessment: We quantify medical costs, future care, lost wages, diminished property value, emotional distress, and punitive damages for egregious conduct.
  • Statute-of-Limitations Management: We track filing deadlines – most states give 2 years from injury discovery; wildfire and asbestos claims often have tolling rules that extend your window.

From wildfire smoke inhalation to gadolinium-induced NSF, our toxic exposure and environmental injury lawyers are ready to prove liability and pursue maximum compensation. Read our FAQs or start your free case review today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toxic Exposure & Environmental Injury Lawsuits

Any injury or illness caused by exposure to harmful substances – such as asbestos fibers, gadolinium contrast agents, chemical hair relaxers, or wildfire smoke – may form the basis of a toxic exposure or environmental injury lawsuit. We analyze medical records and exposure histories to confirm your case.

We work with toxicologists, epidemiologists, and environmental experts who review your medical tests, imaging, and exposure timeline. They produce scientifically supported reports linking the toxin to your illness or property damage.

You may recover medical expenses (past & future), corrective treatments, lost wages, property damage, pain & suffering, and – if misconduct was egregious – punitive damages.

Yes. Most states give 2–3 years from the date you discover your injury or property loss. Asbestos and wildfire cases often have special tolling rules – so it’s critical to contact us as soon as possible.

Many toxic exposure cases proceed via MDLs or state-court group actions for efficiency and shared evidence. We file and manage your individual claim within the larger litigation to maximize your recovery.

We handle all toxic exposure and environmental injury cases on a contingency-fee basis – meaning you pay nothing up front, and we only get paid if we secure compensation for you.

Strong cases combine medical records, environmental and workplace sampling data, expert toxicology reports, and regulatory or recall notices. We coordinate all investigations to build compelling proof of causation and damages.
