Toxic Chemical Exposure Creates Significant Health Concerns

With
all of the blessings of the industrialized world that we have built,
comes the curse of toxicity of our air, water, food, homes and
bodies. Some of these toxins, including toxic
mold,
poisonous
cosmetics ,
chemicals, asbestos ,
radiation, pesticides, and lead
paint , can cause serious illness like cancer, and even death.

The
machines of our industrialized system release these toxins into the
air, water and ground. This can lead to multiple health risks once
people come into contact with these toxins in their everyday lives.
Invisible to the naked eye, there isn’t much that can be done to
minimize the risk of exposure to harmful
toxins .

Preventing
the spread and use of harmful materials falls to the U.S.
Government
to enforce regulations which are in place to protect the general
public. There are also ways for average citizens to fight for their
rights, the best way being in the court room.

Years
can go by before discovery of a toxic
injury
is discovered. The injured party will also have to go up against
corporations and other polluting organization that have vast
resources to wage war in court. These factors make toxic
tort litigation
a complicated process.

But
that should not discourage an injured party from enforcing their
rights. Remember films like Erin
Brockovich
and
A
Civil Action ?
Those films are based on ordinary people doing extraordinary things
to protect their rights! If you have been injured by a toxic tort,
you owe it to yourself to fight for the compensation that you
deserve.
