What Poisons are You Breathing in at Home or Work?

There is so much going on in our everyday lives that there are so many things that we often take for granted – such as the air that we breathe in at home and at work. As tenants or employees, we have the right to assume that the air that we breathe is safe. Property owners and employers may not have the same right.

Potentially Toxic Substances

The list of potentially toxic substances that can cause New Jersey and New York premises liability injuries is long. Below are a few examples of toxic substances that can cause significant personal injury or death:
  • Asbestos
  • Contaminated Water
  • Lead Paint
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Gas or Oil Spills

If you have been hurt or a loved one has been killed because of any of the reasons listed above, then you may be able to recover damages for your injuries.

Property Owner Liability for Toxic Substances

If the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition or substance and failed to make the necessary reports or alert you to the danger, then the property owner or manager may be liable if that failure caused your injuries or your loved one’s death.

For example, failure to install carbon monoxide monitors in apartment buildings, failure to properly maintain heating equipment, or failure to test for lead paint in older buildings could result in property owner or manager liability.

Potential Damages if You’ve Been Injured by a Toxic Substance

If you’ve been hurt as a result of your property owner or manager’s actions (or inactions), then you may be entitled to damages for your medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, out of pocket expenses and pain and suffering.
