Carbon Monoxide Litigation in Florida
David & Philpot, P.L. represents people with carbon monoxide-related brain injury and other types of toxic exposures. We understand the dangers of chemical exposure, the typical causes, and how to prove liability in injury lawsuits.
Causes of Chemical Brain Injuries
There are several common chemicals and substances scientifically proven to cause brain injuries and damage:
- Lead
- Mercury
- Manganese
- Carbon monoxide
- Glues
- Paints
- Thinners
Both Florida and federal laws set mandates for manufacturers, factories, and other business professionals to maintain safe levels of harmful chemicals in their goods, equipment, and waste products.
When these mandates are ignored or otherwise compromised the risk for exposure that results in brain injury dramatically increases. You have the right to safety and the right to take legal action against a breach of that safety.
Toxic Brain Injuries in Florida
Harmful chemicals are often a silent and virtually undetectable danger to Florida people. Often, people do not even realize they have been exposed until the symptoms of a toxic brain injury surface:
- Organ failure
- Dementia
- Emotional instability
- Memory loss
- Blindness and vision impairment
- Severe headaches
- Certain types of cancer
These symptoms are damaging, life-threatening, and typically irreversible. Victims face the reality of a declining health and mounting medical fees for a condition whose risk factors remained hidden or undetectable.
Florida Toxic Exposure and Injury
Brain injuries that result from toxic substances are generally the byproduct of long-term exposure from either breathing fumes or direct skin contact:
- Work-related exposure
- Industrial pollutants
- Defective products
- Mold exposure in home or office
- Poorly maintained equipment
Your job should not cause loss of cognitive function. The air in your home should not contribute to dementia. There is a legal way to stand up to these injustices and seek compensation for damages.
Our attorneys offer their legal abilities to victims of toxic brain injuries. We work hard to bring solid claims that will help victims obtain settlements and hold people responsible for their negligible actions.
