Toxic Torts

What Happens After You Have Been Exposed to an Unsafe Chemical?

When a house or building is being manufactured, there is a certain level of expectation that the manufacturer will take into account any potential mold or pollution problems that could be detrimental to someone's health. Older properties, however, may be full of toxic substances like asbestos and lead paint. Newer properties may be susceptible to mold infestation. Exposure to any toxic chemical can cause serious medical conditions, some with life-changing effects.

At my firm — Tucker Law Office — I have almost 20 years of experience representing clients throughout Des Moines and the surrounding communities of Iowa in toxic tort matters. I represent clients who were injured because of chemical exposure. Contact me online or call 888-514-0254 to learn more about the representation an experienced personal injury attorney like myself can offer.

Understanding the Elements of a Toxic Torts Case

When I represent clients in toxic torts cases, I make sure I have a thorough understanding of the complete picture. For example, a house that is poorly manufactured, allows groundwater seepage and quickly develops dangerous mold may be grounds for a products liability case as well as a toxic torts case.

Toxic tort claims arise from exposure to chemicals or substances that result in injury to a person or their property. I make sure my clients receive the compensation they need to cover all their damages, including damage to their home and health conditions arising from contact with the substance. I represent clients who have been exposed to:

  • Asbestos
  • Black mold
  • Toxic waste like medical waste or radioactive material
  • Pollution
  • Lead (particularly that in paint)
