Toxic Torts

Gainesville, Florida Toxic Torts Lawyers

The health hazards associated with exposure to toxic substances are well-known, documented, and established. In most cases, however, employers, construction companies, manufacturers, and building owners refuse to accept responsibility for the presence of toxic substances in their products or on their premises. At the Law Offices of Stripling & Stripling, P.A., our attorneys work closely with medical professionals, toxicologists, safety experts, building inspectors, and others in exposing negligence that leads to health problems associated with exposure to toxic substances. In cases involving black mold and water damage, we gather evidence of poor construction and code violations that lead to water seepage, wet insulation, and mold behind drywall. We also have the experience and resources needed to handle toxic exposure involving heavy metals and known carcinogens present at industrial worksites.

Establishing a Causal Link between Health Problems and Toxic Exposure

It's not uncommon for manufacturers and insurance companies to argue that a person's health problems are due to a pre-existing condition. Sometimes, an insurance company's medical expert witness will argue that cancers, neuropathy, or other health problems are within the expected statistical norm of occurrence for a particular disease. At Stripling & Stripling, we provide blood tests, x-ray evidence, MRI scans, and other documentation establishing a link between the presence of heavy metals or mold in our client's body and his or her health condition. Our office also works with nationally recognized medical experts who explain research and evidence linking health conditions to exposure to black mold, heavy metals, and other toxins.

Understanding Costs associated with Toxic Exposure

Exposure to toxic substances can cause respiratory problems, cancers, neurological problems, and encephalopathy. In order to ensure our clients recover compensation proportional to their injuries, we consult medical economists and life care planners. Depending on our client's condition, we provide cost projections associated with future medical care, lost wages, and lost in quality of life.
