New York Toxic Tort Attorneys

Manhattan ● White Plains ● Poughkeepsie ● Southern Connecticut

Toxic spills, mold damage, or poisonous products have the potential to cause serious property damage and potentially devastating health problems. If you have been injured or your property has been affected by a chemical spill or other dangerous contaminant, you may have a toxic tort claim.

At the law firm of O'Connor, McGuinness, Conte, Doyle & Oleson, we have the legal knowledge, talent, and experience to handle toxic tort claims. As the oldest litigation firm in Westchester County, and the second oldest in the New York City metropolitan area, you can be confident in our long track record of successful outcomes for clients in even the most complex cases. Contact us today to discuss your toxic tort case with a highly regarded New York personal injury lawyer.

Our firm handles toxic tort cases involving:

• Lead paint poisoning and disclosure
• Mold
• Oil spills
• Ground water contamination
• Soil contamination

Our lawyers have the talent and the experience needed to effectively advocate on behalf of individuals who have suffered brain damage and/or delayed learning from lead paint poisoning, or those who have developed respiratory problems or lost a loved one to toxic exposure.

In addition to health problems, we also seek recovery for property damage, remediation, and stigma damages in toxic tort cases. If you own a home and an oil spill occurs on your property, you are entitled to have that contaminated land cleaned by the responsible party. However, you still have a legal duty to disclose that there has been an oil spill on your property, which can adversely affect its resale value. For this, you can also be awarded stigma damages.

Navigation law refers to any case that involves a contaminant going into the soil or ground water. While most personal injury and some toxic tort cases are handled on a contingency basis, navigation law cases are different. In these cases, the client is able to realize a full recovery without having a portion of the recovery reduced by the attorney fees. Instead, attorney fees are awarded separately.

If you or a loved one has suffered a serious illness or wrongful death, or if you have sustained serious property damage due to a dangerous toxic contamination of your property, we can help. Contact us today to discuss the unique circumstances of your case with an experienced and highly-regarded lawyer at O'Connor, McGuinness, Conte, Doyle & Oleson.
