What is the TXI chromium contamination lawsuit?
In a law firm, we've been amazed at the carelessness the major companies destroy or throw away chemicals. A lot of these chemicals are such that they can cause massive harm to the whole community. Indeed that's what happened in the Erin Brokovitch's case. One of those worst chemicals was chromium and indeed there's another situation that is taking place out in river side with the cement manufacturing plant called TXI in which they put all these chromium into the air, right on to the surrounding houses to the plant. My name is Tom Girardi, I'm the senior partner of the Girardi Keese. For the past 44 years we have help people in California who have been seriously harmed. I'm very proud by the work we've done and the role we have played.

What areas are affected by the TXI chromium contamination in California?
You know, the people who live in this little community in Riverside, which is a short distance from Los Angeles, were the people that are massively affected by a careless cement company, TXI, pouring chromium into the air. Chromium is an insidious carcinogen. As a matter of fact, one pound of chromium can cause as much cancer as fifty pounds of benzine, to give you some idea of how terrible this chemical is. And this little community which is adjacent to this plant has been subjected to this chromium dust, it's on the swingsets, it's outside their door, it's in the air and it's in the water.

How much money could I receive if I was a victim of chromium contamination from TXI?
Sometimes people will come to me and they say, well, just how much money am I going to get out of this TXI case? And you know the honest, the only honest answer is, I have no idea. Depends upon a lot of things. First of all we have to show that you lived in this area for the requisite length of time that one could get cancer because of the exposure. Secondly, you have to be situated in such a spot that in fact, you were subjected to the exposure. Thirdly, the type of cancer you have must be one of those cancers which is related to chromium. Then under the law, you may be entitled to compensation for this terrible disease.

How do I know if I should be involved in the TXI chromium contamination lawsuit?
one of the say of all, should I be involved in this law suit or not and the answer that question it depends. First of all, if you live in this area right in decent to the plant and you have cancer, the chances are you should look in to it. Some cancers are not really caused necessarily by a chromium. Breast cancer for example, the nexuses between breast cancer and chromium is really in dispute. Of lung bullet cancer, however, are in fact precipitated by chromium. So those are the things if somebody has problem and have lived in that area for the period of time,the thing they are really looking to it is to see that under the law it is a proper thing.
