Toxic Tort

When Invisible Toxins Cause Visible Harm, Goldberg Legal Exposes the Truth

At Goldberg Legal, we understand that the by-products and waste from manufacturing processes can vary in toxicity — some being dangerously poisonous. Unfortunately, driven by profit, some companies opt for the cheapest disposal methods, such as burying waste on their property, dumping it in secluded areas, or releasing it into local waterways. These irresponsible practices can endanger communities, leading to severe health consequences for individuals living nearby.

The Real Cost of Negligence

Toxic waste disposal might seem like a distant concern until it manifests in our lives through devastating illnesses such as cancer and leukemia. These conditions often take years to appear, making them difficult to trace back to their cause: exposure to toxic substances. Our team at Goldberg Legal is dedicated to connecting these dots. When clusters of illnesses emerge in communities, it’s critical to investigate local industrial activities that may be contaminating the environment with carcinogens.

Holding Negligent Parties Accountable

If you or a loved one has suffered from an illness that can be linked to toxic exposure, you may be entitled to compensation. Proving such a case typically requires robust legal and medical evidence demonstrating that exposure to specific toxins is the most plausible cause of the illness. At Goldberg Legal, we specialize in Toxic Tort lawsuits, assisting victims and their families in claiming damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and in tragic cases, wrongful death.
