Investigating the Exposure, Consulting With Experts
We investigate the manner in which you were exposed to the chemical. Was there a leak from a storage tank that released the chemical into the air that you then breathed? Did an oil field explosion cause you to be covered by the toxic substance? Did you use a manufactured product that contained higher-than-approved levels of a toxic chemical? Were there adequate warnings on a consumer product?
We consult with medical experts to identify the connection between your exposure to the chemical and your illness. Although many chemicals are known carcinogens, it is important to establish the link in your specific case.
