Acute Toxic Ingestion

Erie Pennsylvania (PA) Medical Malpractice Lawyer - Acute Toxic Ingestion

Patients with Acute Toxic Ingestion present to the emergency room for serious adverse outcomes. About 1 million or 1% of all ER visits in 1995 were for poisonings. For this reason, Emergency Room physicians should be aware of the diverse presentations of toxic exposures and consider toxic substances as a cause of some patients' complaints.

Acute Toxic Ingestion cases can involve a variety of issues, elements and substances, including:

• Mercury and PCBs
• Pesticides
• Asbestos
• Mold
• Chemicals and Cosmetics
• Hazardous Waste
• Medical Products, Devices and Pharmaceuticals
• Radiation and Electromagnetic Energy
• Tobacco.

If you have been exposed to a toxic substance, you may be able to bring a claim for damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages, where appropriate.
