Medical monitoring cases usually involve large numbers of people who may have been exposed to certain serious health hazards or have taken pharmaceutical drugs later discovered to be dangerous. At Golomb & Honik we are among the few firms that handle these cases regularly. Often, it can take years for the symptoms of toxic exposure or pharmaceutical use to develop. It is imperative that medical professionals monitor those involved, so that the dangerous effects of exposure can be detected and treated as soon as possible. This is essential for both health and legal reasons, so that those at fault can be held responsible for the results of their actions.

Arranging for medical monitoring of a group can be extremely expensive. The lawyers of Golomb & Honik are adept at getting the parties responsible for exposure to pay for the necessary monitoring. Read more about our success in this area:

• Multi-Million Dollar Settlement in Chemical Exposure Case Golomb & Honik successfully represented dozens of individual workers—and a class of more than 1,000 additional workers—in a case arising from ongoing occupational exposure to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. For more than a decade, workers at an oil processing facility were exposed to emissions of sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide gasses from a neighboring plant. Those emissions caused reactive airways disease and occupational asthma in many workers. In addition, many others were exposed and require medical monitoring to detect the potential onset of pulmonary disease. Following years of protracted litigation, and the bankruptcy of the defendant polluter, Golomb & Honik achieved a multi-million dollar settlement against the bankrupt polluter, instead of the pennies on the dollar that many other creditors received.
