Many companies and chemical producers value profit and production over the safety of the environment and of their neighbors. As a result, corners are cut and safety regulations are “pared down,” allowing dangerous chemicals to escape into our neighborhoods, blanketing our homes, parks and schools with poisons.
The most common results for those in the path of such chemicals are: breathing problems, eye and throat irritation, skin sores, and even death. Those with asthma and other respiratory problems are the most vulnerable. The luckiest can sometimes avoid injury by sealing themselves inside – prisoners in their own homes.
If you are injured or deprived of your liberty as a result of such a chemical release, the law provides you with valuable rights, including the right to be reimbursed for your medical expenses and lost income. You can also seek compensation for your pain and suffering, inconvenience, and the deprivation of your liberty by being forced to “shelter in place.” These payments should all come from those who caused the release of the chemicals, but to get these payments you need experienced help.
I am Steven R. Jacobsen, “The Accidental Lawyer.” I have experience successfully fighting chemical and oil companies on behalf of thousands of victims of toxic chemical releases such as sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide and hydrocarbons.
Proving injury from a toxic substance can be a complex and difficult task, but with my knowledge and experience in this area I can:
-
Arrange for independent doctors and medical experts to evaluate your medical injuries;
-
Secure expert testimony and documents needed to prove your case;
-
Evaluate the amount of compensation you are due;
-
Fight those who would seek to bully you out of your proper compensation and treatment.
You pay me nothing until your case is resolved and you receive payment.
