LeBlanc & Waddell handle cases dealing with exposure to chemical and toxic substances. Whether a victim is exposed through occupational conditions or through environmental contamination, the effects can be serious.

Occupational exposure to toxic chemicals can occur across many industries. Some of the dangerous chemicals employees may be exposed to include benzene, asbestos, vinyl chloride, coal tar pitch volatiles, PNAs, and latex. Exposure to such chemicals can result in serious, life-threatening diseases, including cancer.

LeBlanc & Waddell is Occupational Disease Counsel for the Louisiana AFL-CIO and the NAACP and is committed to fighting for working men and women who have been harmed as a result of exposure to hazardous substances.

Environmental exposure to toxic chemicals can occur in many ways. Catastrophic accidents, such as an explosion at a petroleum plant or an oil tanker crash, can cause sudden releases of toxic chemicals into the environment. In addition, long-term exposure can occur as the result of smaller but consistent releases of hazardous materials into the air, water, or ground. Claims can sometimes be made for lost property value and emotional anxiety as well as for serious injury and disease.
