Alabama Environmental Injury Lawyers

Birmingham Toxic Tort Attorneys

The effects of injuries caused by environmental factors—lead poisoning, asbestos, pollution, toxic waste, and more—can take several years to show themselves.

A child exposed to lead as a baby can start to show behavioral issues, hearing problems, or damage to the brain and nerves as she grows older; a construction worker who comes into contact with asbestos on the job may develop lung cancer or mesothelioma years later; workers in an office infested with mold may become seriously ill after months.

Dangerous Exposure

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration estimates that 1.3 million employees in construction and general industry are exposed to asbestos on the job. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 310,000 American children between one and five years old have high levels of lead in their blood streams.

Children and adults with lead poisoning are at risk for very serious side effects, such as:

• brain and nervous system damage
• slowed growth
• hearing problems
• headaches
• high blood pressure
• reproductive problems, in both women and men
• nerve disorders
• memory and concentration problems

Agent Orange

On June 9, 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court made a decision to continue the Vietnam veterans’ suit, Dow Chemical Co. v Stephenson, allowing victims of various cancers and other serious illnesses who served in the Vietnam War to pursue claims against the manufacturers of Agent Orange despite a 1984 class action settlement from those manufacturers. In this settlement, the manufacturers agreed to pay out $180 million, which lasted until late 1994. The Supreme Court let stand the 2nd Circuit’s decision that the constitutional rights of Vietnam veterans were violated by this 1984 class action settlement. Read more
