6 People Experiencing Symptoms due to Hazmat Situation at Sherman Oaks Galleria

So far, affected parties only sustained minor harm, which included watery eyes and a scratchy throat. Without a doubt, these are minor injuries. However, these incidents can potentially have devastating consequences. The incident remains under investigation; therefore, we cannot know exactly what the victims were exposed to.

Some substances lead to headaches, drowsiness, lightheadedness, and even lack of consciousness. Other substances lead to dizziness, general weakness, irritability, upset stomach, seizures, and coma. Depending on the type of exposure (and the length of time of the exposure), symptoms can vary. Long term exposure, especially in a workplace or in a residence, can sometimes lead to long term harm, including different types of cancers.

No matter the specific injuries that you or a loved one suffered after exposure to irritants or toxic substances in the air, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

Yes – you could have the right to file a lawsuit for the harm that you suffered. Depending on the specific situation, you could sue the property owner (for failing to identify and address the issue before an incident occurred, for instance). This is because all property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for everyone, guests and employees alike.
