| Toxic injury can
result from exposure to chemicals, dust, fumes and other
contaminants. Toxic exposure can and does cause serious
health problems.
Here is a recent case that underscores
Steinbrecher and Associates competence in the area of
toxic injury; Williams v GAF Corp.
In this case of
toxic injury, Williams v GAF Corp.,
our client, Oscar Williams drove an asphalt-filled tanker
truck. He pulled into GAF's facility to offload hot asphalt.
He climbed up on the truck in the rain to crack the dome
lid so that the tanker could unload easily. Suddenly there
was a huge explosion of hot asphalt shooting out of the
top of the tanker truck which showered Oscar, causing
severe burn injuries. A year after the accident Oscar
died from lung cancer. GAF claimed that the lung cancer
was caused by a long history of smoking. Steinbrecher
and Associates proved through various experts that Oscar's
lung cancer was probably the result of inhalation and
absorption of the hot asphalt which contained toxic chemicals.
Ed Steinbrecher settled this toxic exposure case settled
prior to trial for $1,150,000. |
