Anapol, Schwartz, Weiss, Cohan, Feldman & Smalley is representing individuals who are suffering from Mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer caused by Asbestos. Among the worst toxic substances, Asbestos was commonly used for insulation in homes, buildings and garages throughout the United States until as recent as the 1990's. Even today, new cases of Mesothelioma are being diagnosed daily.

Due to the growth of industry and a corresponding increase in the use of chemicals, the number of dangerous or toxic substances in our environment has grown immeasurably. Anapol Schwartz is committed to protecting the health and welfare of those persons who have been exposed to toxic substances found at their homes or places of work in groundwater or their local environment and has represented numerous clients in their toxic tort claims. Anapol Schwartz consults with experts in the fields of medicine, industrial hygiene, epidemiology, the environment, rehabilitation, economics and psychology to help determine the cause and long-term effect of injuries from toxins. These experts also provide insight into how to present these complex issues so that a court and jury can intelligently rule in a case.

Lawsuits stemming from toxic chemical exposure are categorized as Toxic Tort cases. In these cases, persons suffer injury to their bodily integrity, financial situation and/or other interests. Many of the effects of toxic exposure are permanent, and often victims are not aware that the medical problems they have experienced are directly related to that toxic exposure. A plaintiff who proves that he or she was exposed to a toxic substance due to the negligence of another person or company is entitled to compensation for all of the consequences related to the exposure, including:

• Abatement of the toxic substance;
• The cost of past and future medical care;
• The cost of necessary rehabilitation;
• Loss of past and future wages;
• Loss of earning capacity and related fringe benefits; and
• Pain and suffering associated with the exposure.
