Previous Toxic Exposure Cases
In the heavily industrialized Ohio Valley, issues of toxic exposure and pollution are prevalent. When industrial plants, public utilities and other corporate operations expose citizens to toxic substances without their knowledge or unlawfully, injuries and death and the fear of contracting dangerous diseases such as cancer come to the fore.
In 2008, Bordas & Bordas’ five-year representation of more than 150 residents of the Proctor, West Virginia, area ended when the Robinson v. Columbian Chemicals litigation was confidentially settled with the insurers and corporate entities behind a heavily polluting carbon black plant in Proctor. Our knowledgable toxic exposure lawyers in Pittsburgh continue to prosecute a diverse array of cases involving toxic chemical exposure.
Previously, Jim and Linda Bordas had represented Dale and Mildred Riggle in a case against Allied Chemical Corp. The case was tried in Wetzel County, West Virginia, and resulted in a $500,000 verdict in favor of the Riggles. Dale suffered respiratory problems as a result of being exposed to TDI that was negligently splashed on him by a third party during a construction project at the Allied site. Because of the conduct of the insurance carrier, a bad faith case was also filed and resulted in a significant recovery in addition to the $500,000 verdict.
In the Stillwell case, a teenager was killed as a result of making contact with wires that had been exposed in the area of the city amphitheater by inappropriate construction and maintenance. This resulted in a $3,400,000 settlement on behalf of the family.
