New Iberia Toxic Tort Lawyer

One of the downsides of living in our time is constant exposure to chemicals. Some chemicals are relatively harmless and can even be beneficial. Other substances, however, can cause devastating harm upon exposure.

Suppose you got injured or developed an illness because of exposure to a dangerous chemical or compound. In that case, you might want to talk to a New Iberia toxic tort lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. They can determine your compensation options. Louisiana gives you little time to pursue your legal remedies, so you do not want to delay in taking action.

Economic Losses in Toxic Tort Cases

The damages you can recover compensation for in your case can be economic or non-economic. Economic losses in toxic tort cases can involve out-of-pocket costs like medical expenses, medical monitoring, and lost income.

Medical Expenses

If you had a sudden injury or illness because of exposure to a dangerous substance, you might have bills from the ambulance, trauma center, and emergency room. Once diagnosed, whether your medical condition had a sudden onset or developed over time, you could incur other expenses.

These expenses can be for your medical treatment, like doctors, hospitals, imaging studies like MRIs, lab work, diagnostic procedures, and prescription drugs.

Depending on your diagnosis, you might have to undergo chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, hormone therapy, and other treatments. After some procedures, you might have to undergo physical therapy to regain function and strength.

Medical Monitoring

Some medical conditions can take many years to develop after exposure. For example, asbestosis is a disease caused by Asbestos. The symptoms of asbestosis often do not appear for decades.

A person might have expenses for medical monitoring to see if they eventually develop a medical condition from the exposure to toxic chemicals. A toxic tort lawyer in New Iberia, LA can talk to you and assess your situation even if you have not yet developed symptoms.

Lost Income

You might have a claim for lost wages if you did not get paid for the time you missed from work due to the exposure and your health. You may be too ill to work, recuperating from medical procedures like surgery or chemotherapy, or missing work for ongoing interventions like physical therapy.

Some people cannot make as much money as they did before the exposure to toxic substances. They might have chronic pain or weakness, loss of essential functions needed to perform the job, or other ongoing impairment because of the harm to their bodies. In this case, you could have a claim for diminished earning capacity.

Intangible Losses in Toxic Tort Cases

Out-of-pocket losses are easier to calculate for purposes of settlements or jury verdicts. This is because they usually come with bills or receipts that state a dollar amount. Intangible losses do not have such convenient information, but we know how to calculate the financial value of this portion of your claim.

Pain and Suffering

This category of intangible damages accounts for the physical discomfort and emotional distress of harm from a toxic substance. This compensation is in addition to your medical expenses. It can be painful and miserable to undergo chemotherapy, surgery, and other medical procedures.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

It can be challenging to enjoy life if you worry you won’t live much longer. If you also can’t participate in certain activities you used to enjoy before getting sick, you might have to sit on the sidelines rather than joining in. You can be compensated for experiencing a lower quality of life.

If your close relative died because of dangerous chemical exposure, a toxic tort attorney in New Iberia, LA could help you pursue additional monetary compensation for the family in a wrongful death action.

Your lawyer will identify all your damages, calculate them, and pursue the appropriate party for the compensation you are entitled to.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

How Our New Iberia Toxic Tort Lawyer Can Help with Your Case

Toxic tort cases are sophisticated legal claims that benefit from having an attorney involved. We can talk to you, investigate your situation, and advise you on whether you might have a viable case against the defendant. We can also determine whether you must file a lawsuit against multiple defendants.

Filing deadlines can be complicated in these cases, but we can evaluate which statutes of limitations apply to your case. Missing the filing deadline can mean that Louisiana law prevents you from getting compensation from the defendant, so you do not want to make a mistake about this issue.

Here are a few other ways we can benefit your toxic tort case:

  • We can hire and work with expert witnesses who can testify about the toxic substances, what caused the harm you suffered, and your medical condition.
  • We can investigate your case to build a strong lawsuit against the defendant.
  • We can respond to the defenses the defendant raises in the lawsuit.
  • We can negotiate with the defendant to try to win a settlement of your claim.
  • We can gather evidence, prepare for trial, and try your case in court if necessary.

There are many other services we can provide for our toxic tort clients. We can help with all types of toxic tort cases, too, including water contamination and dangerous drugs. Our firm is here to take over your case so you can focus on your health and wellbeing. You shouldn’t have to go through this alone and don’t have to.

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