Chattanooga Toxic Exposure Lawyer

Johnny L. Woodruff, Attorney at Law

A "tort" is a private or civil wrong or injury for which the court provides a remedy through an action for damages. This is the fundamental principle of American tort law. If you have been injured by toxic exposure due to the negligence of someone else, you are entitled to be restored to the position you held before the injury.

A toxic tort is caused by contact with a toxic substance. Some of the more widely known toxic substances that have been shown to cause serious injury include: lead-based paint (brain damage, especially in children), asbestos (lung cancer, restrictive lung disease), dry cleaning and other solvents (brain damage, organ damage), pesticides such as dioxin and DDT (birth injuries), electro-magnetic fields from utility wires or major appliances (suspected cancer), toxic landfill waste (leukemia, other syndromes), varios drugs and pharmaceuticals such as DES and other industrial chemicals.

The process of proving that injury has occurred due to toxic exposure can be very difficult. Often times, symptoms do not appear until long after the exposure has occurred. If you believe you have been the victim of toxic exposure, it is important that you contact a qualified Chattanooga toxic exposure attorney immediately.

An individual who proves that they have been the victim of toxic exposure due to another's negligence is entitled to compensation for all of the consequences, including:

  • Cost of past and future medical care
  • Cost of rehabilitation
  • Lost past and future wages
  • Lost earning capacity or other benefits
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Pain and suffering
  • Embarrassment, humiliation, or inconvenience
