Marksville Toxic Tort Lawyer

If you suffered harm because of exposure to a dangerous chemical, a Marksville toxic tort lawyer could help you hold the manufacturer accountable for the injury you suffered or medical condition you developed.

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can help with all types of toxic torts, such as Roundup cases, Camp Lejeune contaminated water, and dangerous drug cases.

The Benefits of Working with a Marksville Toxic Tort Lawyer on Your Case

You might feel relatively comfortable dealing with your own traffic ticket, but trying to handle your own toxic tort litigation could cost you everything. The defense lawyer could raise defenses that get your case dismissed if you try to act as your own lawyer.

One of the most common legal challenges to toxic tort cases is the issue of causation. A Marksville toxic tort lawyer can address these and other challenges that can threaten your litigation. When the defense lawyers try to get your case dismissed, we can fight for your right to compensation for the harm you suffered.

Some of the many services we offer for our clients with toxic tort claims include:

  • Determining the statute of limitations that applies to your case. Missing this critical deadline would get your case dismissed. We stay on top of procedural rules in your claim.
  • Investigating your case and finding the proof we need to support a claim for damages.
  • Obtaining the evidence we will need to present to the defendants and the court.
  • Handling communications with the defendants so you do not have to. When you have a lawyer, the defendants are not allowed to contact you directly. They will have to go through us.
  • Addressing the issue of causation, which can be particularly challenging in toxic tort cases.
  • Locating and working with expert witnesses these cases usually require.
  • Preparing for and handling the trial if your case does not settle.

We negotiate with the defendant first to try and win a settlement for you. Even after we file a lawsuit, we can continue to negotiate with the defendant. Most lawsuits settle without having to go to trial, so filing a lawsuit does not necessarily mean your case will go to court.

Recoverable Damages in Toxic Tort Claims

Every toxic tort case is different. The amount and types of damages you could pursue will depend on the unique facts of your situation.

Some of the common categories of damages we have won for our clients include:

  • Lost wages. If you were too sick to work because of health problems from the chemical exposure, and you did not get paid while away, you can include lost income in your toxic tort claim. People undergoing cancer treatment or other medical procedures are often unable to work.
  • Future lost wages. If you have ongoing impairment or continuing medical treatment, which affects your ability to work, you might not be able to make as much money as before the chemical exposure. You might only be able to work a few hours before you need to rest. You might have chronic pain or diminished function.
  • Medical bills. Your past medical bills will be for the expenses you incurred to treat the medical condition or injury caused by the toxic substance. Bills can include things like the ambulance, emergency room, doctors, hospitals, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pain management, and other related healthcare services.
  • Future medical bills. Many diseases caused by toxic exposure require ongoing treatment. For example, a person might have to undergo multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Even if they go into remission for a time, the cancer can come back and require additional treatment.
  • Medical monitoring. Some carcinogens, like asbestos, can take years, even decades, to cause severe diseases. After a known exposure, your doctor might recommend you undergo regular monitoring to check for diseases you are at risk of developing.
  • Pain and suffering. Having to undergo uncomfortable procedures like surgery and treatments that make a person miserable like chemotherapy, can involve great physical discomfort. Facing a life-changing diagnosis because of chemical exposure can cause profound emotional distress. You deserve compensation for this non-economic damage.
  • Some aggressive forms of medical intervention can leave a person with extensive scars and other disfigurements.
  • Knowing you might not live nearly as long as you expected can diminish your enjoyment of life. The sadness of knowing you might not live to see your children grow up or experience having grandchildren can take away much of the joy you had before exposure. You should be compensated for experiencing a lower quality of life.

You will want to talk to us about all the ways the chemical exposure and resulting health consequences have affected your life. This will help us determine the amount of compensation you’re entitled to, and we will fight tirelessly for it.

Affording a Toxic Tort Lawyer

These cases can seem expensive to litigate as lawyers often have to hire experts to testify about the dangerous chemical compounds and the adverse health effects caused by them. However, you will not have to pay us a deposit for legal fees if we take your case.

We handle toxic tort litigation on a contingency-fee basis, meaning our payment comes from a percentage of the settlement or court award. If you do not win, you do not owe us any money for attorney fees. So, there are virtually no financial risks with this payment arrangement. What’s most important to us is securing the best possible outcome for you so you can move forward more comfortably.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
