Toxic Torts

Toxic Tort & Chemical Injury Lawyers

Exposed to a Dangerous Chemical?

A toxic tort lawsuit is a type of case in which a victim claims exposure to a chemical is the cause of an injury or disease. Located in Opelousas, Morrow, Morrow, Ryan, Bassett & Haik (MMRB&H) Law Firm has handled many toxic tort personal injury cases due to the high number of chemical industries and manufacturing plants in our geographic region — as well as the industrial hazards affiliated with the oilfield industry.

Experienced in Toxic Tort Litigation

The MMRB&H team of attorneys has served as lead counsel in a lawsuit against Bayer relating to the herbicide Icon, which was toxic to crawfish and devastated the crawfish crop for many South Louisiana crawfish farmers. That Class Action was filed in St. Landry Parish and was brought to trial. The Defendants settled the case during the trial that resulted in a substantial award to Louisiana crawfish farmers*.

Many industrial workers are continuously exposed to high levels of chemicals that can cause debilitating diseases.

We’ll Determine if You Have a Case

Our cases include exposure to toxic chemicals from pharmaceutical drugs, consumer products, from the environment, in the home and in work environments, including exposure to asbestos and toxic mold. The number of home exposure to toxins is rising due to mold contamination and formaldehyde-treated wood and carpet. And while pesticides are necessary to combat the insect population, exposure to them has caused detrimental health effects in certain areas.

To learn more about our Class Action cases, please click here. Or contact us to discuss the details of your chemical exposure and the negative effects on your health.

* Results in other cases may vary, depending on specific facts or law.
