Juneau, Boll & Ward's
attorneys are actively representing clients in toxic tort
litigation. This type of litigation encompasses intentional
or unintentional exposure to hazardous substances causing
injury to individuals, corporations and/or property. Traditional
examples of such chemicals include PCBs, mercury, and
lead paint.
Exposure to chemicals can be by inhalation, absorption
through skin contact, or ingestion. Examples of property
damage resulting from contamination by hazardous chemicals
include groundwater contamination, illegal disposal practices,
and surface water run-off.
In recent years, toxic tort litigation has been widely
publicized due to people suffering from sick building
syndrome (from repeated inhalation of various building
material vapors), mesothelioma (a form of cancer initiated
by asbestos exposure), and toxic mold injuries caused
by exposure to household mold.
Toxic torts also encompasses representation of clients
who have been injured as a result of taking prescription
or over-the-counter medications or supplements. The representation
provided by Juneau, Boll & Ward, PLLC includes cases
involving serious injury or death from products such as
Baycol, Rezulin, Zicam and Fen-Phen. Many people are injured
every year from drug products that should have never been
put on the market. Drug companies that fail to fully test
new drugs and then pressure the FDA to approve them should
be held accountable for placing their profits before the
well being of consumers. At Juneau, Boll & Ward, PLLC,
we believe it is not acceptable when these actions lead
to someone being injured or killed.
The lawyers at Juneau, Boll & Ward, PLLC are well
versed in the representation of people who have been injured
due to toxic torts and defective or dangerous drugs. |
