Harmful Diseases

 

Harmful Diseases Linked To Drugs And Hazardous Chemicals. Many people with a particular disease or disorder may not realize it through the haze of symptoms from which they are suffering, but their illness could possibly be connected to a defective drug they have been taking, or are still taking. Also, exposure to hazardous chemicals could be the cause of their plight.

Because these cases are often quite complex, anyone who suspects that they may be suffering from the negative health consequences of a drug they have been prescribed or a toxin to which they have been exposed could benefit from the help of a law firm qualified in this area.

Defective Drugs, Toxins Can Cause Diseases

Defective drugs, as well as mercury exposure, lead poisoning and other toxic substances can cause serious or life-threatening illnesses.

One of the most common environmentally related diseases is mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer directly caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. The most common anatomical site for mesothelioma is the outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall, but it can also arise in the lining of the abdominal cavity or the pericardium (the sac that surrounds the heart. Most who develop mesothelioma have worked in jobs where they inhaled or ingested the asbestos fibers.

Despite treatment with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or sometimes surgery, mesothelioma carries a poor prognosis.

What to do if You’ve Been Exposed

If you or someone you love has been impacted by this disease, it’s important to remember that you may be entitled to compensation from companies that manufactured asbestos and related products.

It has been an amazingly gratifying and enjoyable experience working with PW, and making it that way is my paralegal contact ,Tina. She answers all my questions with patience, knowledge and understanding. Tina returns calls quickly and explains situations and progress clearly and all her answers are with the kind of details I request. Importantly, Tina always contacts me quickly with any status change or requirement for additional information. My case is still in progress and I am comforted to know my interaction with Tina will continue to be enjoyable, informative and interesting.

Parker Waichman LLP helped my family with my father's 9/11 VCF Claim. My dad was in downtown Manhattan when 9/11 happened. Because of that he was diagnosed with COPD. Unfortunately, in early 2020 when COVID hit, he passed away. It was determined that his COPD from 9/11 was a contributing factor in his death. Working with Parker Waichman during such a difficult time was so helpful. Tina Morace was an absolute godsend in the process. Any questions I had, and there were many, were answered immediately. She always responded with a phone call and an email to follow so that I had everything in writing. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is in need.
