Pesticide Injury Lawyers
Found in the air we breathe and in foods, water, soil and even breast milk, pesticides are continually used in a number of environments. This includes homes, schools, buildings, roads and farming and agricultural fields. For those committed to protecting the ecosystem, not to mention human health activists, the impact of pesticides is horrifying, leading to a growing number of toxic tort claims.
To better understand, toxic tort claims involve serious personal injuries resulting from exposure to toxic substances, including pesticides. Individuals may be exposed to pesticides on the job, through household cleaners or disinfectants, industrial cleaners, cosmetics, contaminated foods, water and bug repellants. In turn, humans “absorb” pesticides through ingestion, inhalation and dermal exposure.
While harmful effects of pesticides may appear immediately in some cases, others may surface years down the road. Even so, legal liability in regard to pesticide injuries is based on negligence, establishing that the manufacturer or defendant, for instance, failed in their duty to provide reasonable care towards the injured person. Without question, these product liability cases are difficult. Yet, the pesticide injury attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers can help.
With a strong record of advocacy and investigative capabilities in such cases, we are especially equipped to help victims of pesticide injuries understand their rights and seek the compensation that they need and deserve.

Pesticide Poisoning And Exposure Injuries
When it comes to pesticides, many are unnerved at all of the unknowns concerning these substances, including the wide range of illnesses and related conditions. For instance, early signs of pesticide poisoning may closely mirror that of heat exhaustion, asthma or even food poisoning. Symptoms may be mild such as a headache, weakness, dizziness, perspiration, nausea, diarrhea, flushed or yellow skin and rapid pulse. Yet, sudden and dramatic symptoms may involve fever, vomiting, uncontrollable muscle twitches, convulsions and unconsciousness.
Given the many types or “families” of pesticides, some are passed through the body, while others remain. They can produce damage to internal organs including the kidneys, lungs, liver and the abdominal region. Fat and muscle tissues may also be affected, resulting in poor coordination and trouble walking, talking or swallowing.
To say that pesticide poisoning and exposure has a significant impact on one’s life is an understatement. This is why the pesticide injury attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers want to make things right in your case. We realize that no amount of compensation can reverse or undo the damage caused to you. Yet, we are equipped to hold those accountable if you or a loved one has suffered a pesticide related injury due to another’s negligence.

Hope MishlanLove this firm and would use again if I needed representation in the future
Jose Humberto Solís JiménezIs the best atornyes ,thanks for help me
Faith CenobioThey really took care of me when I was hurt on the job and recovering from my injury.
James JerrelsI feel very blessed to have found CFJ attorneys. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process I felt important to them. Lisa was very attentive with her dedication and communication with me. Not only would I use them in the future. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Jaimie CatoeCFJ Injury Lawyers and their team are great! Cathy and Lisa are who I spoke with the most. They took care of me and were so understanding of my crazy work schedule and took that into consideration when contacting me! I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my case.
Debbie KelcyMy husband and I have used Wern Law for over 25 years. So when we needed an attorney in 2018 we did not hesitate. Catherine has always handled our cases, and since the firm has "changed hands" from Richard to Catherine, she has gotten a few new associates in the group and hasn't missed a beat. If we ever need to have representation again, this is the only law firm we will use. If you need an attorney for other issues that they do not specialize in, rest assured they will give you excellent advice and good direction. I won't go on blast for the dirty underhanded attorneys and the likes who played games with clients as well as Richard and Catherine. So, if you happen to run across one of them that bad mouth CFI or their staff, run... CFI is very fair and ALWAYS have your best interest at heart. This firm are not ambulance chasers. They rely on word of mouth for advertising.
Rodney MandervilleRichard and his firm/Family have "Always" been there for me and my family as well as those I've referred to his Council. Through good times as well as tough times for literally 20 years. He has always delivered and even more so has become a Great Friend. The information may not always be what you desire to hear but you can be assured that they will be professional and tactful they insure that you are never caught off guard and, that you are thoroughly prepared and informed for any and all matters that may arise throughout your case. In a word "OUTSTANDING"!
Tiffany MillerVery professional staff, knows everyone's name no matter if you've been there only once! You get more than just an attorney; you get a support system and a friend (the type of friend if you're down in the trenches, he's there with you strategizing a way out). You really know that Richard is handling your case as best he can without question. I have used several different law firms in the past and I would recommend this law firm, seeing first-hand the length he goes to for his clients. He also has spanish speaking staff, I would highly recommend Nicole!!!
Larry ConnerI met Richard through my daughter. I fell 8 feet in February 2011 and broke the L2 vertebra in my back!! Over a period of two years, I realized I was going to need help. I came to meet with Richard to talk about my accident. It was the best thing I ever did! My case went on for a little over 3 years and I am very pleased with the outcome Richard helped me obtain. He is an excellent attorney!
