Environmental & Toxic Torts

Today, we have all kinds of wonderful products to make life easier and more enjoyable. Unfortunately, many of them were manufactured in such a way that our rivers and streams, our land, our air – now contain toxic products that have damaged our environment… and our health.

Some environmental dangers are in the materials used in manufacturing or commercial facilities. Some toxic substances are found in our groundwater or our backyards. Some poisons in our environment are a result of manufacturing… while some are the result of accidents or negligence.

A Toxic Situation
A Toxic Tort generally involves a person or a community who has been exposed to harmful or deadly chemicals. It can involve dangerous and toxic chemicals, waste discharges, environmental hazards, spills, toxic levels of pollution, and other dangers to the environment and the people who live in that environment.

The Calwell Practice offers experience and expertise in dealing with environmental issues and toxic substances that can harm your health, including wrongful death and personal injury issues, occupational asthma and related respiratory problems, hearing loss, neurological problems, and more. We can help you recover damages from exposure to dangerous chemicals, whether that exposure came from your work environment, from a toxic spill, from environmental pollution, or other source.

We can help you with illnesses and injury from environmental toxins such as asbestos, welding fumes, silica, formaldehyde, PCPs, and more.

Our environment is precious – it’s what sustains us. And many manufacturers, distributors and handlers of potentially toxic materials do so in a responsible manner. But for those who damage our environment and our health through the use of toxic materials, The Calwell Practice will work to help you stand up for your right to live in a healthy environment, without exposure to toxic chemicals.
