Toxic Exposure
Cases
Exposure to dangerous chemicals can cause serious injury or even death. Proving injury and causation (that the chemical caused injury), can be challenging and largely depends on the size of the dose and the duration of exposure. Toxic exposure cases require attorneys with expertise in toxicology, epidemiology, and other sciences. The chemical exposure lawyers on our Minneapolis team have the expertise necessary to handle your case.
Case Quick Facts
These are the top 10 toxic substances that are linked to significant injury:
- Asbestos: Known to cause lung cancer known as mesothelioma and lung disease
- Lead-based paint: Linked to brain damage, especially in children
- Benzene: Linked to cancer
- Mercury and Arsenic: Blood poisoning and impaired brain function
- Tobacco: Various cancers
- Talc: Perineal exposure linked to ovarian cancer
- Dioxin and DDT: Known to cause brain injury
- Radon: Linked to cancer
- Colloidal silver: Known to cause Argyria
- Glyphosate: An herbicide in Monsanto’s Roundup linked to cancer
Depending on the product/toxin, the injuries can vary. A thorough history of a person’s exposure to any type of chemicals is necessary for an expert to perform a differential diagnosis to determine the cause. The chemical exposure attorneys on our Minneapolis team have had 32 years of experience in proving these types of exposures and injuries. We have the knowledge and resources needed to take on large companies and prove your case.

In the last century, asbestos and many chemicals were widely used in several products around the United States. It often takes 20 to 50 years for cancers to form. The law recognizes that these injuries are not known until many years later. Call our firm for a free consultation to determine if a claim is still possible.
