File a lawsuit over TCE's dangerous health effects

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a colorless liquid used as a solvent for cleaning metal parts. Most countries currently prohibit its use in machinery that processes food, but it is still found in many industrial plants and factories, where workers are likely to be exposed to it. Additionally, it is one of the most common organic contaminants in groundwater (Atsdr.com). Talk to the lawyers at Weitz & Luxenberg about filing a lawsuit in order to get compensation over TCE's effects on your health.

As one of the nation’s leading plaintiffs’ law firms, Weitz & Luxenberg can provide you with the legal strength you need to take on companies that have polluted your community with dangerous chemicals such as TCE. We have over 25 years of experience representing environmental pollution victims and their families, with hundreds of millions of dollars in successful verdicts and settlements for the plaintiffs.

Effects of Trichloroethylene exposure via drinking or breathing

TCE was originally introduced as an anesthetic, but was found to cause too many health problems. Among them:

  • Nervous system effects
  • Liver and lung damage
  • Abnormal heartbeat
  • Coma
  • Death

Fighting for your rights

Our environmental attorneys are litigators with extensive courtroom experience and an in-depth understanding of the environmental laws involving TCE. We are here to help ensure that you and your neighbors are given due compensation for your suffering.

You have a right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and protect your property from activities that could devalue it, such as corporate dumping. Our clients have been the victims of vapor intrusion, tainted water, and noxious odors and toxic emissions from landfills, among other acts of negligence.

Our litigation encompasses toxic tort, personal injury, and property damage claims. We counsel and represent our clients in all phases of civil litigation, including all pre-trial proceedings such as document production and depositions and trials.

If your community has been affected by TCE or any other pollutant, we may be able to help. Please fill out the form below for a free legal evaluation of your potential TCE case. We will be in touch shortly.
