00:00:00.833 --> 00:00:02.375
Toxic exposure cases

00:00:02.375 --> 00:00:05.291
cover a broad range of

00:00:05.291 --> 00:00:06.625
cases that we handle

00:00:06.625 --> 00:00:07.208
at McCutcheon

00:00:07.208 --> 00:00:08.833
and Hamner. Couple

00:00:08.833 --> 00:00:09.791
that we're focusing on

00:00:09.791 --> 00:00:11.041
right now that you may

00:00:11.041 --> 00:00:11.375
have heard

00:00:11.375 --> 00:00:12.875
throughout the news is

00:00:12.875 --> 00:00:14.541
talcum powder. You

00:00:14.541 --> 00:00:16.125
know talcum powder now

00:00:16.125 --> 00:00:17.000
has a known

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.625
carcinogen within it.

00:00:19.375 --> 00:00:20.041
Johnson and Johnson

00:00:20.041 --> 00:00:20.583
one of the

00:00:20.583 --> 00:00:22.375
leading suppliers

00:00:22.416 --> 00:00:23.500
manufacturers of

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:24.458
talcum powder for

00:00:24.458 --> 00:00:26.208
consumer use they knew

00:00:26.208 --> 00:00:27.291
that they knew

00:00:27.333 --> 00:00:28.416
that talc caused

00:00:28.416 --> 00:00:29.833
cancer. They knew it

00:00:29.833 --> 00:00:30.916
for decades and they

00:00:30.916 --> 00:00:31.625
didn't warn their

00:00:31.625 --> 00:00:33.125
consumers and because

00:00:33.125 --> 00:00:34.291
of that women and men

00:00:34.291 --> 00:00:35.041
now have developed

00:00:35.041 --> 00:00:36.041
various types of

00:00:36.041 --> 00:00:37.541
cancer due to that

00:00:37.541 --> 00:00:39.375
toxic exposure. That's

00:00:39.375 --> 00:00:41.000
just one example. The

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.000
other example that

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.000
you may have heard and

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:43.583
it's kind of in the

00:00:43.583 --> 00:00:44.250
news right now is

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:45.083
what's going on at

00:00:45.083 --> 00:00:46.666
Camp Lejeune. So the

00:00:46.666 --> 00:00:47.375
federal government

00:00:47.375 --> 00:00:49.458
knew that there was

00:00:49.458 --> 00:00:50.791
benzene within the

00:00:50.791 --> 00:00:52.458
drinking water at Camp

00:00:52.458 --> 00:00:54.416
Lejeune and it has

00:00:54.416 --> 00:00:55.625
caused numerous

00:00:55.625 --> 00:00:57.000
cancers and birth

00:00:57.041 --> 00:00:58.500
defects for the men

00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.541
and women who worked

00:00:59.541 --> 00:01:01.041
at Camp Lejeune or

00:01:01.041 --> 00:01:01.541
were stationed

00:01:01.708 --> 00:01:02.541
there serving our

00:01:02.541 --> 00:01:03.791
country. We're

00:01:03.791 --> 00:01:05.125
handling those cases

00:01:05.125 --> 00:01:06.208
but toxic

00:01:06.208 --> 00:01:07.833
exposure applies

00:01:07.958 --> 00:01:09.666
to other things. Maybe

00:01:09.666 --> 00:01:10.791
you work at a facility

00:01:10.791 --> 00:01:11.333
where there's

00:01:11.333 --> 00:01:12.541
radiation used or

00:01:12.541 --> 00:01:13.791
some type of of

00:01:13.791 --> 00:01:15.166
uranium or radioactive

00:01:15.166 --> 00:01:16.916
type isotope. Maybe

00:01:16.916 --> 00:01:17.791
you develop a certain

00:01:17.791 --> 00:01:18.875
type of cancer or you

00:01:18.875 --> 00:01:20.291
have an injury. That's

00:01:20.291 --> 00:01:22.250
toxic exposure. Any

00:01:22.250 --> 00:01:22.958
type of case

00:01:23.666 --> 00:01:24.500
where you have

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:25.791
suffered an injury to

00:01:25.791 --> 00:01:27.125
an exposure to a

00:01:27.125 --> 00:01:28.333
chemical or

00:01:28.333 --> 00:01:28.916
a substance

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.958
that is toxic could be

00:01:30.958 --> 00:01:32.208
in the workplace. For

00:01:32.208 --> 00:01:33.708
example it could be an

00:01:33.708 --> 00:01:34.500
exposure to

00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:35.958
latex or it could be

00:01:35.958 --> 00:01:37.250
an exposure to

00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:38.333
chemicals in the

00:01:38.333 --> 00:01:38.791
workplace

00:01:38.791 --> 00:01:39.625
that you use.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:40.708
Could be clean could

00:01:40.708 --> 00:01:41.458
be as simple as

00:01:41.458 --> 00:01:43.708
cleaning products but

00:01:43.708 --> 00:01:44.875
anything like that

00:01:44.875 --> 00:01:45.916
where a person is

00:01:45.916 --> 00:01:47.208
exposed to a chemical

00:01:47.208 --> 00:01:49.875
or an element even in

00:01:49.875 --> 00:01:50.458
the manufacturing

00:01:50.833 --> 00:01:52.125
process. Anything

00:01:52.125 --> 00:01:53.583
where you are exposed

00:01:53.583 --> 00:01:55.125
to something that

00:01:55.125 --> 00:01:56.708
causes injury or

00:01:56.708 --> 00:01:59.166
disease you have a

00:01:59.166 --> 00:02:00.250
claim for toxic

00:02:00.250 --> 00:02:02.125
exposure cases. If you

00:02:02.125 --> 00:02:02.875
feel like you have

00:02:02.875 --> 00:02:04.291
call Tom or I at

00:02:04.291 --> 00:02:05.041
McCutcheon and Hamner.

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:06.000
We'll help you.
