Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for toxic exposure claims in Texas?▾
Generally 2 years from when you knew or should have known that toxic exposure caused your injury — the "discovery rule" often applies because exposure illnesses develop over years.
How do I prove toxic exposure caused my illness?▾
Your attorney retains medical experts (toxicologists, oncologists) to establish the causal link between your specific exposure and your illness. Environmental experts document exposure levels and pathways.
Can I file a toxic exposure claim if I was exposed years ago?▾
Yes, in many cases. The Texas discovery rule may toll (pause) the statute of limitations until you discovered or should have discovered that exposure caused your illness.
Who can be liable for toxic exposure injuries?▾
Employers, chemical manufacturers, property owners, contractors who used or stored chemicals, and government entities responsible for contaminated water or environmental violations.
