Common Causes of Toxic Exposure Brain Injury
You can be exposed to toxic chemicals in numerous ways. Some chemicals may be found in your home or your place of employment. You could encounter other chemicals in government buildings or business locations.
Chemicals that can cause brain injuries from exposure include, but are not limited to:
Lead
Lead is a common chemical that can cause brain damage from long-term exposure. Lead exposure may occur from lead-based paint, lead-contaminated water, and burning materials that contain lead. Exposure to lead can lead to several health problems, including motor skill impairments.
Mercury
Mercury is a neurotoxin found in food, water, and household goods like thermometers. Exposure could cause tremors, memory loss, and breathing problems. In addition, long-term mercury exposure could result in organ failure.
Pesticides
Pesticides are widely used in the United States to control insects and weeds around crops. Unfortunately, these toxic chemicals can contaminate food and water supplies. They may also be in the air. In addition, many pesticides have been linked to increased risk of cancer, brain injuries, and other health conditions.
Carbon Monoxide
Incorrectly installed appliances can emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, including water heaters, furnaces, and ranges. However, boat motors, portable heaters, and idling vehicles can also emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
Exposure may cause loss of consciousness, permanent brain damage, and death.
Manganese
Manganese is a common mineral found in numerous whole grains, nuts, tea, and water supplies. Long-term overexposure to manganese could cause brain damage and other health issues.
Solvents
Acetone, ethanol, toluene, chloroform are just a few common solvents that many people are exposed to at work, home, or public. These dangerous chemicals can cause severe brain damage from prolonged exposure. In some cases, exposure can lead to dementia.
Proving Fault for Brain Injuries Caused by Toxic Exposure
If you believe that your brain injuries were caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, you must prove that the party responsible for the exposure is liable for your damages.
Proving fault for exposure to toxic chemicals requires you to prove that:
- The party owed you a duty of care
- The party’s reckless, careless, or negligent acts or omissions breached the duty of care
- The breach of the duty of care was the proximate and direct cause of your brain injuries and health conditions (causation)
- You sustained damages because of the party’s breach of duty
Gathering evidence proving toxic exposure can be challenging. At Attorney Brian White Personal Injury Lawyers our Houston personal injury attorneys have extensive resources to pursue leads, consult experts, and hire investigators to assist us as we gather evidence to prove fault and liability.
What Compensation Can I Seek for Brain Injuries Caused by Toxic Exposure?
Exposure to toxic chemicals can cause irreparable brain damage. Damages may include physical, emotional, and cognitive impairments. In addition, your quality of life may be significantly reduced because of the consequences of a brain injury.
Damages that can be included in a premises liability claim for exposure to toxic chemicals include, but are not limited to:
- Cost of medical, personal, and nursing care
- Lost wages, benefits, and future earning potential
- Permanent impairments and disabilities
- Reductions in quality of life and enjoyment of life
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish and emotional distress
The Texas statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years. However, you could have longer to file a lawsuit if you just found out that you sustained brain damage from toxic exposure.
