About Arsenic and Arsenic Poisoning Symptoms
Arsenic is a chemical that is naturally occurring. It can be found in groundwater, the soil, and the air in low levels. In its organic form and in low levels, arsenic is practically harmless. However, long term exposure to arsenic even in low levels can potentially cause mild to serious injuries. Of course, exposure to arsenic in high levels can be very harmful.
Arsenic can be found in drinking water and crops irrigated with contaminated water. Contaminated water presents the highest risk of harm to the public. However, arsenic is also used in different industrial settings, such as the processing of pigments, paper, glass, ammunition, etc. Arsenic is commonly found in pesticides and insecticides.
Some people can be exposed to arsenic at work, at school, or even at home. If you or a member of your family suffered workplace exposure, exposure at home, or exposure at school, you could have grounds to file a claim.
Some known symptoms of arsenic poisoning include the following:
- Abdominal pain
- Burning sensation in the throat/mouth
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Shock
- Vomiting
Some of the more severe conditions that could develop due to arsenic toxicity include the following:
- Kidney cancer
- Renal failure
- Skin cancer
Of course, exposure to arsenic could also have fatal consequences.
Can I File a Lawsuit for Arsenic Exposure and Arsenic Poisoning?
Yes – you can file a lawsuit for the harm that you or a loved one suffered after being exposed to arsenic. Who can I sue? The specific party or entity that you could sue will be strictly based on the details surrounding the exposure to arsenic. For instance, if the exposure occurred at work, then the employer responsible for the exposure could be sued. However, if the exposure occurred due to ingesting a contaminated drink, for instance, then the product manufacturer would be responsible and could be sued. If the exposure occurred at a school through contaminated water in water fountains, then the school or the school district could be responsible and could be sued. Similarly, if the exposure occurred at a rental home due to contaminated water, then the property owner could be responsible and could be sued.
If you are unsure of the legal options available to you, we recommend that you seek legal assistance with the experts here at our law firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are more than ready to evaluate your claim and help you better understand the legal options available to you and your family.
Whether you are looking to file an injury claim for the harm that you suffered or a wrongful death claim for the harm that a member of your family suffered, you can trust that our lawyers are ready to go above it all to fight for your rights.
What Compensation Can I Recover?
If you or a loved one suffered harm due to exposure to arsenic, you could sue and recover compensation. The compensation that you could recover could include the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
- Legal fees
- Wrongful death benefits (family benefits for death of a loved one from exposure to dangerous chemicals in the workplace, include funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, loss of consortium, etc.)
Another common question regarding compensation involves average case value.
What is the average case value of an arsenic exposure lawsuit? This is a very difficult question to answer. We cannot determine one specific value that applies to all arsenic exposure cases as every case is different. Case value is based on a number of factors, including the severity of the injuries suffered, the permanency of said injuries, how the injuries affected the victim and their family, etc. Trying to establish an average case value would be misleading, as there is no guarantee that your case would be worth said value. Rather, we have established an estimated range value. In general, arsenic exposure lawsuits can be worth anywhere from $350,000 to $1.5 million, for instance. Of course, case values can fall out of this range. For more information about the possible value of your arsenic poisoning case, contact the experts here at our law firm today.
The Statute of Limitations for an Arsenic Exposure Lawsuit
Depending on the details surrounding your claim, you could have the right to file your lawsuit for the harm that you or a loved one suffered. However, you could lose the right to sue if you fail to file your claim on time. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, or a deadline to sue. In the state of California, for example, claimants are subject to a two-year statute of limitations for both injury claims and wrongful death claims. Depending on the specific details of the claim, however, exceptions could apply to the statute of limitations. For more information about the time that you have to sue, we recommend that you seek legal assistance with the experts here at our law firm immediately. Our lawyers are more than ready to ensure that your claim is filed on time.
