Mercury exposure can lead to poisoning. Contact our environmental lawyers if you were hurt.

Exposure to mercury occurs from breathing contaminated air, ingesting contaminated water and food, and having dental and medical treatments. Mercury pollution can damage the brain, kidneys, and developing fetus, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Exposure to mercury has occurred in people who ate fish or shellfish contaminated with methylmercury.

People may also be exposed by breathing vapors in air from spills, incinerators, and industries that burn mercury-containing fuels.

It is also possible to experience exposure in the release of mercury from dental work and medical treatments.

Breathing contaminated workplace air or skin contact during use in the workplace (dental, health services, chemical, and other industries that use mercury) may also be a point of exposure.

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.
