Texas Toxic Injuries Lawyer

When you buy a house or take a job, both Texas and federal laws mandate that you may reasonably expect to be safe from exposure to chemicals known to be toxic, such as asbestos.

On July 12, 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule banning most asbestos-containing products and prohibiting the manufacture of new products containing asbestos. It did this because asbestos exposure causes serious, damaging health effects, as do other banned substances, including benzene, various pesticides, and toxic mold. Some of the health consequences caused by home or workplace exposure to these illegal toxins are:

• asbestosis
• lung cancer
• acute myeloid leukemia
• aplastic anemia
• various forms of mesothelioma, including:
  • malignant mesothelioma
  • benign-fibrous mesothelioma
  • peritoneal mesothelioma
  • pericardial mesothelioma
• other symptoms, including
  • pleural plaques
  • pleural thickening
• various forms of leukemia, including:
  • acute myelogenous leukemia
  • acute myeloid leukemia
  • acute lymphocytic leukemia
  • chronic myelogenous leukemia

These are serious injuries, often caused by violations of state and federal law. If asbestos caused you any of the above injuries, you need a Dallas asbestos exposure lawyer of Scott Palmer’s skill, experience, determination, and resources. If a welding road coated in benzene made you seriously ill, you have every right to file a benzene lawsuit in court. You will need a benzene lawyer with a proven track record.

If you have suffered serious injury because someone broke the law, you need a lawyer you can trust to get you meaningful results. Please contact Scott Palmer at his Dallas office.
