What we can do for you.
Our current investigation is focused on claims of potential mercury exposures and contamination to employees, contractors, and their family members who worked at the Olin Corporation’s chlorine plant in Augusta, Georgia. If you were employed or contracted to work at the Olin Corporation's chemical plant, or you were living with someone who did, we would like to talk to you. Both the unsafe conditions during normal plant operations and the decommissioning and retrofitting of the old mercury cells have posed significant risks of exposure to elemental mercury vapor. Elemental mercury vapor is a known toxin and exposure to it can cause serious threats to a person’s health. Our goal is to investigate these exposures and provide help to anyone who may have been harmed. Your information will help us further our investigation into the Olin plant and the conditions experienced within. We would like to evaluate your time at the plant and your work scenarios to see if you may have been exposed to toxic levels of elemental mercury. Our team works with scientists, testing laboratories, specialized physicians, industrial engineers, and industrial hygienists to fully evaluate plant procedures and safety, especially as it relates to worker health, safety, and protection.

What Types Of Litigation May Result From This Investigation?
For more than a century many of the most harmful industries had little to no regulation protecting human health, property, or the environment. This has led to many routes for exposure and contamination. Thousands of these toxin-contaminated sites exist all across the country, polluting the soil, waterways, aquifers, and the surrounding air. Many of these industries and sites have exposed people to harmful toxins. The following are some of the legal avenues for attaining remedies and some of the avenues our investigation may bring.
Personal Injury Toxic Tort
A Toxic Tort claim is a personal injury lawsuit where a person claims that he or she was exposed to a harmful substance (toxicant) that has caused them injury or disease. This can include exposures to chemicals, radiation, pathogens, or other harmful substances. Many of these cases can turn into groups of people who may work at a particular facility or live in a given area together. The goal of this type of tort is to attain justice for their exposures.
Mass Tort Personal Injury
A Mass Tort is when a group of workers or individuals come together and make a claim that they were all exposed to the same toxicant. This exposure might come from Lead, Mercury, Benzyne, Asbestos, Manganese, Dioxin, Radiation, Silica, and many others. Approaching toxic exposures as a group gives each person greater ability to prove the injuries they have suffered. This is not a class action, it is a Mass Tort.
