Wheeling, West Virginia, Toxic Exposure Lawyers

At the law firm of Hartley & O'Brien, PPLC, our lawyers represent working people and their families. The majority of our clients, while they come from all backgrounds and all parts of the country, have one thing in common. They have a life-threatening illness caused by exposure to toxic chemicals or substances at their jobs.

Many of our clients call us after their doctor has told them they have a deadly disease such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma. If you have had such a conversation with your doctor, you are probably wondering how you contracted the illness. You may suspect that you were exposed to a harmful chemical or substance through your work. You may also be wondering about your legal options.

There are many lawyers who advertise on the Internet and on television for personal injury and wrongful death cases involving exposure to asbestos, benzene and other toxic chemicals. Most of these law firms are simply trolling for cases that they will refer to somebody else. Few lawyers have the scientific, medical and legal knowledge to handle a complex case involving exposure to asbestos or chemicals such as benzene. Most simply refer these cases to a handful of national law firms that have the expertise to handle toxic tort cases. We are one of those firms. One of the reasons we have created this Web site is so that injured workers and their families can contact us directly.

Our attorneys have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients nationwide. Within West Virginia, we also handle other types of personal injury cases such as auto accidents and workplace accidents.
