    toxic torts

    Toxic torts are a legal field involving injuries or illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous substances like chemicals, pollutants, or dangerous products. Mr. Braden, a San Francisco toxic torts lawyer can help victims of such exposure obtain justice and compensation for the harm they’ve suffered.

    Common toxic substances can include:

    • Asbestos: This fibrous mineral was once widely used in construction materials. Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems, including mesothelioma (a cancer of the lining of the lungs, chest, or abdomen) and lung cancer.
    • Lead: Lead poisoning is a major concern, especially for children. Lead can be found in older paint, dust, contaminated soil, and some imported toys. It can damage the developing brain and nervous system, leading to learning disabilities, behavior problems, and even death.
    • Pesticides: These chemicals are used to kill insects, weeds, and rodents. However, exposure to pesticides can be harmful to humans, causing a variety of health problems, including skin and eye irritation, respiratory problems, and even cancer.
    • Industrial Chemicals: Many industrial processes involve the use of hazardous chemicals. Workers in these industries can be exposed to these chemicals through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure can lead to a range of health problems, depending on the specific chemical.
    • Defective Pharmaceutical Drugs: Even medications intended to help us can be harmful if they are defective. Contaminated drugs, or drugs with unforeseen side effects, can cause serious injuries and illnesses.

    Mr. Braden understands the complex medical and legal issues involved in these cases. He will fight to secure compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain, suffering, and even punitive damages when the situation warrants it.
