Nebraska Toxic Exposure Lawyer
Some injuries don't come from a single bad day. Cancer from asbestos inhaled decades ago in a railroad shop or boiler room. Illness from chemicals handled at work without adequate protection. Harm from a defective product or a dangerous drug. A child sickened by mold a landlord ignored. These cases pit ordinary families against corporations with unlimited defense budgets — and they are exactly the fights my practice is built for.
Cases I Handle
- Asbestos and mesothelioma — railroad, power plant, construction, industrial, and Navy exposure, often 20–50 years before diagnosis. See my dedicated Nebraska mesothelioma page.
- Chemical and environmental exposure — workplace solvents, pesticides, contaminated water and air
- Roundup® (glyphosate) cancer claims — non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosed after years of using Roundup weed killer on the farm, on the job, or at home
- Talcum powder cancer claims — ovarian cancer and mesothelioma linked to long-term talc-based powder use
- Hair relaxer cancer claims — uterine and other cancers linked to long-term use of chemical hair relaxer and straightener products
- Defective products and dangerous pharmaceuticals
- Habitability exposure — including mold injuries to children in rental housing
Why Timing Feels Backwards in These Cases
Because exposure happened years ago, people assume it's too late. Usually the opposite: deadlines are generally measured from the diagnosis or discovery of the harm, not the exposure — but they do run, and the investigation takes time. Many asbestos defendants established court-supervised trust funds that compensate victims without a traditional lawsuit; knowing which funds and which still-operating companies apply to your work history is the core of the case. Bring me the work history, even a partial one — the investigation is my job, not yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
I was diagnosed with mesothelioma but was exposed decades ago. Is it too late?
Usually not — deadlines in these cases are generally measured from diagnosis, not exposure. But the clock does run, and reconstructing a decades-old work history takes time, so speak with a lawyer promptly after diagnosis.
What if the company responsible no longer exists?
Many asbestos and product defendants established court-supervised trust funds — billions of dollars set aside for victims, often claimable without filing a lawsuit. Claims may also exist against still-operating companies. Both paths depend on documenting your exposure history.
What does a toxic exposure case cost to pursue?
Nothing up front. These cases are handled on contingency — no fee unless there is a recovery — and the consultation is free.
