Exposure to toxic materials occurs where someone has been injured because they came in contact with materials that have resulted in an injury and cost for damages. People that work on construction sites may be exposed to more toxic materials than average, with dangerous chemicals are going to be more likely to be exposed to them.
Toxic materials exposure can have serious effects and recovery, making the help of an experienced personal injury attorney important. If you have experienced an injury, you may be eligible for financial compensation with the help of a toxic materials exposure attorney in New Jersey.
Exposure
As with chemical exposure, people are often exposed through their jobs. For example, if an individual is a construction worker or a factory worker and exposed to toxic materials, that individual may have a higher risk of damage. But people who do not work in these areas are also sometimes exposed if they just happen to be in an area such as a store, or an office building, or somewhere that they do not even realize that they are coming in contact with toxic materials.
New Jersey toxic material exposure attorneys have had cases where people went to work in an office building for years not realizing that the office building was old and it was full of asbestos. Anyone can come to contact with these materials, and it depends on whether a person knows they are coming in contact with these materials. Toxic materials exposure attorneys in New Jersey can help determine the impact of the material.
Common Injuries
Similar to the chemical exposure, when someone is exposed to toxic materials, there could be short-term injuries such as burns and breathing difficulties. Another issue could be a loss of or damage to eyesight.
But there are also long-term effects that we have to be aware of, such as whether a material causes an increased risk of cancer or other health issues down the road. This risk would be determined with experts that a New Jersey toxic material attorney has the resources to attain. They would hire medical experts to evaluate the toxic material, to evaluate the amount of exposure that the person had to the materials, and to let them know whether that material increases the risk for certain health issues down the road.
Relation to Toxic Chemical Cases
Every case is different, and every case is going to require a different analysis and different experts. Attorneys will need liability experts and medical damages experts for both types of cases. Also, the statute of limitations is the same. It is two years from the date of the incident. Sometimes in these types of cases, a person may not realize that they have been exposed to toxic chemicals or toxic materials when first exposed, so it could be two years from the time that a person becomes aware of it.
Sometimes people do not realize that they were sitting in an office building for many years, breathing in these chemicals, and then once they find out that they have health issues and they realize where it was from, that is one way to extend that two-year statute of limitation.
Working with an Attorney
If a person thinks that they have been exposed to toxic materials or toxic chemicals, that person wants to get in touch with an experienced toxic materials exposure attorney in New Jersey so that that attorney can do an investigation to determine whether their client was exposed to toxic chemicals and materials and to what extent. It is also important for someone to visit a doctor if they are worried about exposure, so that that the doctor can evaluate the case, treat it, or prevent exposure down the road. It is essential to contact a skilled attorney to begin an investigation as soon as possible.
Testimonials
This team is incredible. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate everything they have done for me and would recommend them to anyone. Overall great experience
Paul D.My case settled recently after lasting 4 years. Grungo and Colarulo’s law firm were able to secure a large settlement award for my slip and fall accident. This money will help secure my future for the permanent injury I received as a result of the slip and fall. Everyone was very caring, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Christine Lafferty is an excellent litigation lawyer. I highly recommend using them if you have been injured or in an accident. I hope I am never in a situation again to need their services, but I know who to go to if I, or any of my family members are ever injured. Thanks Grungo and Colarulo and staff for your compassionate service!

Aminah M.A dear family friend referred us to a young attorney named Rich Grungo, Jr. We wanted answers and if necessary, justice for our father. From day one of a five-year journey, Mr. Rich Grungo, Jr. made our family and our pain his own. The man never stopped working for us. He kept us informed every step of the way. Questions were answered quickly and with great compassion and expertise. Even though Rich was always busy, he was never too busy for us. We always felt like we were his only clients
MickeyI had the opportunity to observe Mr. Grungo work in this case, both in the courtroom on the technical matters of the motions and also as his presentation to the jury in opening and presenting witnesses as well as utilizing animations… and drawings and films that were necessary for a proper understanding of the case…At all times during the presentation, Mr. Grungo operated mostly without notes and questioned the witnesses in a conversational manner which made it most effective. **

DeniseHi Rich, Well I’m on my way up to college to finish packing my son’s stuff up and to go to his Graduation tomorrow. It’s hard to believe how fast and how slow, at the same time 5 years can go by. I was just thinking of you as I am getting ready to leave and wanted to thank you once again for everything you have done for my son’s future. You are a good and just man. God Bless to you and your family.
Be Well,
Bob
