How a PERSONAL INJURY attorney CAN HELP YOU
Toxic torts are legal actions taken against individuals or entities responsible for exposing others to harmful substances, leading to illness or injury. In Florida, these cases often stem from exposure to hazardous chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, or environmental pollutants. Common scenarios include workplace exposure to industrial chemicals, contamination of groundwater or soil, and exposure to toxic substances in consumer products.
Victims of toxic exposure may suffer from a range of health issues, including respiratory problems, neurological disorders, cancer, birth defects, or other chronic conditions.
