Chemical Exposure Torts

Exposure to toxic chemicals can cause extreme pain and loss of body function, and result in lasting negative effects on the victim's health. Sometimes, a toxic tort can even result in a wrongful death. At my practice, Keith Halpern, Attorney at Law, I help persons who have suffered toxic torts obtain compensation for their losses and suffering.

Building the Case for Compensation

The greater the financial loss and suffering of the victim, the stronger the resistance of the liable party and its insurance company in paying fair compensation. If you or a loved one has suffered a toxic tort, you need an experienced personal injury attorney who knows how to build a strong and persuasive case.

For over 20 years, I have worked on behalf of victims of negligent accidents. When the client and I decide to work together to obtain compensation and justice, I carefully examine all of the facts of the case.

The manufacturer of the chemical has a legal responsibility to provide an accurate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the product. Was this done?

Did the employer keep a copy the MSDS on the work site, as they are supposed to?

Who handled the chemical and when?

If the chemical was handled by a piece of process machinery was it designed and maintained properly?

Identifying the Sources of Liability

All of these questions (and others) can identify the true source or sources of liability. As a lawyer experienced in toxic torts and chemical exposure cases, I know what questions to ask and where to get answers. When needed, I can consult with knowledgeable toxicologists, chemical engineers, and other experts who can provide insight into the cause of the accident and persuasive testimony in court. Identifying all sources of liability is a critical step in maximizing the compensation the client receives.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to a toxic tort, you have one chance to obtain compensation. Because I work as a solo practitioner on a selective number of cases, I can focus my full attention on your case.

I will work to obtain full and complete compensation, as well as justice, for you.
