Manufacturers have known for years that exposure to welding rod fumes creates an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. Despite this, many large companies continued to expose their workers to welding rod fumes without giving them adequate protection or warning them of the danger.

In Virginia, because we have a large number of shipyards, many workers were exposed to welding rod fumes on a daily basis. Some have now contracted Parkinson's Disease.

When a drug or product injures or kills a person, who is responsible? Simply stated, a tort is a wrong. It involves any damage, injury, or wrongful act done willfully, negligently, or in circumstances involving strict liability (but not involving breach of contract) for which a court of law will grant monetary damages or an equitable remedy to compensate you for your injury. Mass Torts occur when a large number of people have been similarly injured. Examples of mass torts include major multi-party lawsuits involving faulty products like defective hip implants, silicone breast implants, and tobacco, or the many pharmaceutical cases that Kalfus & Nachman handle.

Often, drug makers and regulatory agencies rush approval of a certain product based on demand or financial gain. Our job at Kalfus & Nachman is to see that those manufacturers are held accountable for injuries to consumers that could have been prevented. Whether it is a dangerous drug, faulty product or false promise from a company, our product liability attorneys have years of experience dealing with consumer fraud issues.
