Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Exposure Cases

How long do I have to file a chemical exposure lawsuit in Texas?
Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, but the discovery rule may apply in chemical exposure cases where symptoms develop over time. This makes prompt legal consultation essential for protecting your rights.

What should I do immediately after chemical exposure?
Seek immediate medical attention, even if symptoms seem minor. Document the exposure incident if possible, preserve any evidence, and contact an experienced chemical exposure attorney as soon as your medical condition allows.

Can I still recover compensation if I was working when exposed to chemicals?
Yes. While workers' compensation may provide some benefits, you may also have third-party claims against equipment manufacturers, chemical companies, or other responsible parties beyond your employer.

How much is my chemical exposure case worth?
The value of chemical exposure cases varies significantly based on factors such as the severity of health effects, medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term prognosis. Our attorneys provide free case evaluations to assess your potential compensation.

What if the chemical exposure resulted in cancer or other serious illnesses?
Chemical exposure cases involving cancer or other serious diseases require immediate and aggressive legal representation. Our firm works with medical professionals to establish causation and pursue maximum compensation for these devastating injuries.

Do I need to pay attorney fees upfront?
Labinoti Law Firm handles chemical exposure cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for your case. This allows injured victims to access quality legal representation without financial barriers.
