ASBESTOS
Tradesmen in many industries were negligently exposed to asbestos materials well into the 1990s. Whether you developed Mesothelioma yourself due to asbestos exposure or you’re the surviving family of a lost loved one you could be entitled to significant compensation.
Depending on where you were exposed and a few other factors, you can get a settlement from 6 to 7 figures.
If you or someone you know was exposed to Asbestos, reach out to an experienced consumer injury lawyer to learn more.
CHLORPYRIFOS
Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide, or pesticide, made of white or colorless crystals. The chemical is used to control many different kinds of pests including termites, mosquitoes, and roundworms. Chlorpyrifos was first registered by Dow Chemical Co. as an insecticide in 1965, and the EPA re-registered it in 2006, according to National Geographic.
The insecticide became widely-used almost immediately after its introduction, as it proved to be a highly effective deterrent to nearly all insects. Chlorpyrifos has been sprayed extensively by homeowners, farmers, golf courses and municipalities all across the U.S. and around the world.
According to the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC), chlorpyrifos can be harmful if it is touched, inhaled, or eaten. The Environmental Protection Agency’s own experts have linked chlorpyrifos to a wide range of severe, potentially life-threatening health problems in children and adults, according to the Workplace Health and Safety Journal.
Chlorpyrifos contains a neurotoxic organophosphate (OP) insecticide that blocks an enzyme which controls messages that travel between nerve cells. When the enzyme is blocked, the nervous system can’t send normal signals. This causes the nervous system to malfunction, eventually killing the pest.

JUUL E-CIGGARETTES
If you are a parent of a child under the age of 18 who has suffered injuries, addiction, or other adverse health affects due to Juul, you can file a lawsuit on their behalf. If you are 18 year of age or older and have suffered Juul-related injuries, you may also qualify to participate in the Juul lawsuit.
Studies have linked Juul & nicotine use to a number of adverse health risks including severe addiction, cardiovascular disease, heart attack or heart problems, lung or respiratory failure, mental health or behavior issues, nicotine poisoning, pregnancy complication or birth defects, seizures, suicidal thoughts or attempts, stroke, and other complications.
Individuals, including teens with no previous smoking experiences, that were led to believe that Juul was “better than smoking” or “a safer alternative to smoking” are finding themselves addicted to Juul and are now suffering serious health issues. Individuals who are fighting addiction and life-threatening health effects associated with Juul are currently hiring a Juul lawyer to file a Juul lawsuit in order to receive compensation for the damages that they have incurred as a result of Juul’s negligence and false marketing.
If you or someone you know has been injured by Juul cigarettes, speak to an experienced consumer injury lawyer to learn more.
ROUNDUP CANCER
Bayer faced tens of thousands of claims linking the weedkiller to cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Some of the money is set aside for future cases.
NHL is a cancer of your lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system. The cancer can generate a number of common signs and symptoms, including the following:
Enlarged lymph nodes
Unintentional weight loss
Fatigue
Infections that are frequent and/or severe
Easy bruising/bleeding
Shortness of breath, coughing, difficulty breathing
A feeling of being full after eating only a small amount of food
Chest pain or pressure in the chest
As you can see, these symptoms could also be symptomatic of multiple other medical conditions and illnesses—even a simple infection. To know for certain whether you have developed cancer, you will need to see a doctor who will run tests to check for NHL.
If you or someone you know has been injured and exposed to Roundup, contact an experienced consumer injury lawyer to learn more.
TALCUM POWDER
Talcum Powder, also known as Baby Powder, is a refined mineral with absorbent properties. As such, it is commonly used as a personal care product, and for feminine hygiene.
In recent years, researchers have found evidence that talc, the main ingredient, is a cancer-causing mineral. The makers of talcum powder have aggressively opposed these scientific studies, and refuse to add labels warning consumers of the powder’s potential risks.
There are currently over 2,400 lawsuits pending against the maker of these talc-based products.
Several juries have awarded cancer survivors and their families multi-million dollar verdicts after a Talcum Powder Lawsuit Lawyer filed a claim on their behalf. The most common injuries mentioned in a talcum powder lawsuit includes:
Ovarian Cancer – this is a rare type of cancer, and it often has no symptoms in the early stages. This makes it very difficult to cure. Later stages are usually associated with weight loss and a loss of appetite.
Other Cancers – those who have long-term exposure to talc fibers face a higher risk of developing other cancers, such as lung cancer. It is also possible that talcum powder could be linked to other types of cancer in both men and women, but researchers are still conducting studies to confirm this possibility.
If you or someone you know has been injured due to prolonged use or exposure to talc based products, reach out to an experienced consumer injury lawyer to learn more.
