A mediados de la década de 1980, una pareja joven compró su primera casa, una propiedad en ejecución hipotecaria con un patio cubierto de maleza. Sin los medios para excavar y replantar, uno de los propietarios utilizó durante años un herbicida de uso común para despejar y mantener el terreno, creyendo que era seguro.

En 1999, el propietario fue diagnosticado con linfoma no Hodgkin a la edad de 43 años y tuvo que someterse a casi una década de quimioterapia. Para 2007, la enfermedad había empeorado, provocando parálisis temporal y la necesidad de depender de un ventilador y una sonda de alimentación durante más de cinco meses. Tras una extensa rehabilitación, recuperó la movilidad y ha permanecido en gran medida en remisión.

A pesar de que la investigación médica ofrece conclusiones contradictorias sobre los riesgos asociados con la exposición prolongada a ciertos productos químicos domésticos, establecer una conexión directa en los tribunales ha sido un desafío legal. Sin embargo, eso no detuvo a nuestro equipo legal y al final este caso resultó en un acuerdo de $5 millones, uno de los más grandes jamás alcanzados por exposición residencial a productos tóxicos.

Área(s) de práctica: Lesiones Personales, Producto Defectuoso

Tribunal: San Diego

Acuerdo de $5 Millones: Cáncer en Remisión Causado por Toxinas en Productos para el Hogar

Testimonios
I want to sincerely thank my attorney, Terry, and the entire team at Dordick Law for their incredible support and dedication. Although my case wasn’t a large one and the settlement was modest, they treated it with the same care and commitment as any major case. Terry’s time, effort, and compassion meant the world to me during a very challenging time. I’m especially grateful to my friend Jannette Cerda for referring me to Dordick Law and for being there every step of the way as my case manager. Her guidance and support made such a difference throughout the process. I’d also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Araceli Alvarez and Brittney Rodriguez, the legal assistants on my case, for their professionalism, kindness, and constant communication. Their attention to detail and willingness to help at every step did not go unnoticed. Thank you again to Terry, Mr. Dordick, Jannette, Araceli, Brittney, and the entire Dordick Law team for everything. Your work makes a real difference, and I’m so thankful for all you’ve done.

After sustaining several injuries resulting in surgical procedures and ongoing pain from a commercial vehicle dragging my car, I am grateful I was referred to Dordick Law Firm. My first meeting with Dorick Law was with the founder of the firm, Gary Dordick. My initial and lasting impression of Gary Dordick was that he listened, genuinely cared about what I had endured since my accident, and wanted to help me. My case was assigned to Attorney Nicholas Myers and an outstanding team that worked not only to secure a settlement for my case but to ensure I received the medical treatment I needed to improve the quality of my life. Nicholas was responsive, compassionate, and determined to end my case with a settlement to support my long-term needs due to the injuries I had sustained. Nicolas Myers, Maricruz, Ali, Cristina, and the entire team at Dordick Law are indeed the voice and advocate for their client. A sincere thank you to each of you.

The Dordick Law team settled an injury case for us over the course of 3.5 years. They worked hard for us and really cared about making the process as painless as possible, honoring the sensitivity of our injuries. They succeeded in getting us a fair settlement WITHOUT having to go to trial. We will always be thankful to them and their large team. Cant recommend them enough!
