City of East Mountain Toxic Exposure and Dangerous Industry Injury Lawsuit Guide

You didn’t know. For decades, you went to work along the industrial corridors of Northeast Texas, from the drilling pads of the Haynesville Shale to the manufacturing hubs in Longview and Tyler. You did the heavy lifting that powered the City of East Mountain and Upshur County economies. No one told you that the fine white dust on your coveralls or the sweet-smelling chemical vapors in the machine shop were rewriting your DNA. You were proud to provide for your family, never suspecting that the companies you served were hiding internal studies proving their products were lethal. Now, a diagnosis of mesothelioma, acute myeloid leukemia, or stage 4 lung cancer has changed everything. At Attorney 911, we believe that when a corporation chooses profits over the lives of City of East Mountain workers, they forfeit their right to silence. We are here to turn your discovery into accountability.

The cough that wouldn’t go away wasn’t just “getting older,” and the fatigue that left you breathless in your City of East Mountain home wasn’t just “work stress.” For many in Upshur County, these are the first signs of a latent betrayal. Whether you worked at the legacy manufacturing plants near Longview, maintained heavy equipment along Highway 155, or served in the engine rooms of the Navy decades ago, your illness is likely the result of a specific exposure pathway that your employer knew about but failed to disclose. We have spent over 27 years digging through corporate archives to find the documents they tried to shred—the memos that prove they knew you were in danger. Ralph Manginello and his team don’t just file papers; we litigate against the world’s largest corporations to ensure City of East Mountain families aren’t left holding the bill for a CEO’s negligence.

The legal clock in Texas is different for toxic exposure than it is for a car wreck on US-271. Because diseases like mesothelioma can take 20 to 50 years to manifest, the Texas “discovery rule” is your most critical protection. This rule means your statute of limitations typically doesn’t start until you knew—or reasonably should have known—that you were sick and that the illness was caused by someone else’s product. If you’ve been diagnosed within the last two years, your window for justice is open, but it is narrowing as evidence in old industrial sites is destroyed. Attorney Ralph Manginello has a career-long track record of handling high-stakes litigation, including the landmark BP Texas City Refinery explosion cases, where he fought for workers against a multi-billion-dollar energy giant. We bring that same level of aggression to every City of East Mountain case.

Trust fund assets are depleting, corporate defendants are filing for bankruptcy protection to cap their future liability, and the witnesses who can testify to the conditions at your 1970s job site are aging. Every week of delay is a week the other side uses to hide behind legal technicalities. At Attorney 911, we offer a nuclear advantage: Lupe Peña. As a former insurance defense attorney, Lupe spent years inside the rooms where corporate legal teams calculated how to pay you as little as possible. He knows their valuation software, their delay tactics, and their “junk science” experts. Now, he uses that insider playbook to dismantle their defenses for our clients in City of East Mountain. We don’t just understand the law; we understand the enemy.

The Scientific Reality: How Toxic Substances Attack the City of East Mountain Workforce

Toxic exposure isn’t a single event; it is a biological invasion. For the residents of City of East Mountain, the most common threats are invisible, odorless, and persistent. When you understand the mechanism of how these toxins destroy healthy cells, the “coincidence” of your diagnosis disappears, and the reality of corporate negligence becomes clear. We believe education is the first step toward conversion—once you understand the science, you understand why you have a claim.

The Mechanism of Asbestos and Mesothelioma

Asbestos is not just “dangerous dust.” It is a group of six silicate minerals that form microscopic, needle-like fibers. When workers in Upshur County cut through old pipe insulation or sanded down gaskets, millions of these fibers were released into the air. Once inhaled, these fibers migrate into the mesothelium—the thin lining of your lungs (pleural), abdomen (peritoneal), or heart (pericardial). Because asbestos fibers are “biopersistent,” your body’s immune system cannot break them down or expel them.

Your body dispatches specialized white blood cells called macrophages to engulf and destroy foreign particles. However, asbestos fibers are too long for macrophages to consume. This leads to a process called “frustrated phagocytosis,” where the macrophage dies while trying to eat the fiber. As it dies, it releases a cascade of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) into the surrounding tissue. This triggers chronic inflammation that lasts for decades. Over 15 to 50 years, this oxidative stress causes repetitive DNA damage, leading to the inactivation of critical tumor suppressor genes like BAP1 and p53. Eventually, a single cell undergoes malignant transformation, and an aggressive, incurable cancer begins to grow.

If you worked in the construction trades in City of East Mountain or handled industrial insulation at Northeast Texas power plants, you may have been exposed to chrysotile or amosite asbestos. The National Cancer Institute confirms there is no safe level of asbestos exposure. Even a few months of heavy exposure can trigger the 40-year latency clock that ends in a mesothelioma diagnosis. You can read more about NCI’s findings on asbestos carcinogenicity here: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/substances/asbestos/asbestos-fact-sheet

Benzene and Bone Marrow Betrayal

Benzene is a fundamental component of the petroleum industry that dominates the Northeast Texas landscape. If you worked at a refinery near Longview or handled solvents in a City of East Mountain machine shop, you were likely breathing benzene vapors daily. Benzene is a Group 1 human carcinogen, as classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). https://publications.iarc.who.int/576

The biology of benzene poisoning is precise. Once inhaled, benzene is metabolized in your liver by the enzyme CYP2E1 into highly toxic metabolites like benzene oxide and muconaldehyde. These metabolites don’t stay in the liver; they travel through your bloodstream and concentrate in your bone marrow. There, they bind to the DNA of your hematopoietic stem cells—the “master cells” that produce your blood. This causes chromosomal translocations, specifically t(8;21) and inv(16), which are biological markers of benzene-induced leukemia. Over time, your bone marrow loses the ability to produce healthy white blood cells, leading to Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Attorney Ralph Manginello holds those who allowed benzene overexposure accountable. If you lived or worked near Highway 155 and are now facing a blood cancer diagnosis, the cause may be the very industry that supports our region.

Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure in City of East Mountain

Mesothelioma is the signature disease of the modern industrial era, and for many in City of East Mountain, it is a tragedy decades in the making. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, you are likely overwhelmed by the prognosis and the sudden wall of medical bills from facilities like UT Health East Texas in Tyler or MD Anderson in Houston. You need to know that you are not alone, and you are not without options. Because mesothelioma is caused almost exclusively by asbestos, the legal pathway to compensation is more established than almost any other area of law—if you have the right team.

The Dual-Pathway Compensation Strategy

Most law firms in Texas follow a single track: they either sue a company or they file a trust fund claim. Attorney 911 pursues a Dual-Pathway Strategy to maximize the money in your pocket. As Ralph Manginello explains in his “Million-Dollar Case” video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmMwE7GqUFI), toxic exposure cases often involve multiple layers of recovery.

1. Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts: Between the 1980s and today, over 60 major asbestos manufacturers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As a condition of their reorganization, they were forced to set aside billions of dollars in trusts to pay future victims. There is currently around $30 billion remaining in these trusts. Unlike a lawsuit, trust fund claims don’t require a trial; they require specific proof of exposure and medical documentation.
2. Civil Litigation: Many companies that manufactured or used asbestos NEVER went bankrupt. These “solvent” defendants can be sued in court for full compensatory and punitive damages. Juries in cases like Mae K. Moore v. Johnson & Johnson have awarded nearly $1 billion in damages for talc-related mesothelioma. While past results don’t guarantee your outcome, we aggressively target every solvent company that contributed to your exposure.

Occupational Risks for Upshur County Workers

Where were you exposed? In City of East Mountain and the surrounding areas, the primary exposure sites were:

• Petrochemical Refineries: Pipefitters and insulators at East Texas refineries handled asbestos gaskets, packing, and block insulation daily.
• Power Plants: Boiler operators and maintenance crews worked in “hot zones” where every pipe was wrapped in asbestos-containing thermal lagging.
• Construction Sites: If you worked on commercial buildings in City of East Mountain built before 1980, you were likely exposed to asbestos “mud” (joint compound), ceiling tiles, and floor adhesives.
• Northeast Texas Railyards: Railroad workers handled asbestos-containing brake shoes and worked on locomotives insulated with asbestos lagging.

We maintain an internal database of products and manufacturers like Johns-Manville, Owens Corning, and Pittsburgh Corning. If you tell us where you worked in Upshur County, we can often identify the specific products and the associated trust funds you qualify for. OSHA’s standards for asbestos (29 CFR 1910.1001) were ignored by many employers for decades. You can view the federal safety requirements here: https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.1001

Why Symptoms Matter Now

Mesothelioma often mimics common ailments. Many City of East Mountain residents are initially told they have pneumonia or “smoker’s lung.”

• Pleural symptoms: Chest pain that worsens with deep breaths, persistent dry cough, and shortness of breath (dyspnea).
• Peritoneal symptoms: Abdominal swelling (ascites), unexplained weight loss, and bowel obstruction.

If you have these symptoms and a history of industrial work, do not take “no” for an answer. Seek a consultation with an oncology specialist who understands asbestos-related disease. As Stephanie H. noted in her Google review, the team at Attorney 911 makes sure every client feels seen and heard: “Leonor immediately reassured me and took me seriously… she just really made me feel like I mattered throughout the entire process.” We treat your medical crisis with the urgency of a 911 call.

The Haynesville Shale and Onshore Oilfield Injuries

The City of East Mountain sits in the heart of one of the most productive energy regions in the world. The shift to hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in the Haynesville Shale and the Eagle Ford has brought jobs to Upshur County, but it has also created a new generation of injured workers. Oilfield work is inherently dangerous, but many of the catastrophic injuries we see are not “accidents”—they are the result of contractors cutting corners to meet production quotas.

Texas Non-Subscriber and Third-Party Claims

In City of East Mountain, many oilfield workers believe that if they are hurt on a rig, their only option is a small weekly check from workers’ compensation. This is one of the biggest lies in the industry.

• Non-Subscriber Employers: Texas allows employers to opt out of the workers’ comp system. If your employer is a “non-subscriber,” you have the right to sue them directly for full damages, including pain and suffering.
• Third-Party Liability: Even if your employer has workers’ comp, you can still sue THIRD PARTIES who were negligent. On a Haynesville Shale drilling site, you have the operator (like Exxon or Chevron), the drilling contractor (like Nabors or Patterson-UTI), and dozens of service companies. If a tool pusher from a different company’s negligence caused your crush injury or blowout, we can pursue a claim against that billion-dollar corporation.

Ralph Manginello breaks down the role of an offshore and oilfield lawyer in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z8YCG5YT3Y. Whether you were injured by a pipe-handling equipment failure, an H2S gas release, or a high-pressure line rupture, your recovery shouldn’t be capped by a state administrative board.

The Danger of Silica (Frac Sand)

Every “frac spread” that moves through Northeast Texas uses millions of pounds of crystalline silica sand. When this sand is blown into the blenders, it creates a fog of respirable dust. These particles are smaller than a grain of pollen and penetrate deep into the alveolar sacs of your lungs. This triggers “accelerated silicosis,” a disease that scars the lungs and can lead to Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF).

The OSHA Hazard Alert for crystalline silica in hydraulic fracturing warns that workers can be exposed to levels 10 times the legal limit. https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/OSHA3768.pdf. At Attorney 911, we hold sand suppliers and equipment manufacturers accountable for failing to provide proper dust suppression and respiratory protection to the roughnecks and floorhands of City of East Mountain.

FELA: Protecting City of East Mountain Railroad Workers

The railroad is the backbone of East Texas shipping, but for the men and women who work the lines through Upshur County, it is a high-risk environment. If you work for BNSF, Union Pacific, or Kansas City Southern and are injured on the job, you are NOT covered by Texas workers’ compensation. Instead, you are protected by a powerful federal law called the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).

The FELA Advantage

FELA is far more generous than workers’ comp, but it requires you to prove that the railroad was at least partially negligent.

• Relaxed Causation: Under FELA (45 U.S.C. § 51), you only have to show that the railroad’s negligence played any part, however small, in causing your injury. This is a much lower burden than a standard personal injury case.
• No Cap on Damages: FELA allows for full recovery of lost wages, future earning capacity, and physical pain and suffering.
• Asbestos and Cancer: Long-term railroaders in City of East Mountain often develop lung cancer or mesothelioma from years of working around diesel exhaust and asbestos-containing brakes. These are valid FELA claims.

Ralph Manginello has the trial experience to take on the Class I railroads. As Jamin M. shared in his review: “Mr. Manginello guided me through the whole process… He was tenacious, accessible, and determined throughout the 19 months of my case.” We don’t back down from railroad defense teams. Learn more about FELA protections here: https://railroads.dot.gov/safety-data

Benzene and Chemical Releases along the Texas Corridor

If you work in a facility that processes crude oil or manufactures plastics, benzene is a constant threat. In City of East Mountain, we are only a short distance from major refining hubs where “fugitive emissions” and “upset events” are common.

Recognition of Benzene-Related Disease

Benzene is a sweet-smelling chemical, but the result of exposure is bitter. At the cellular level, benzene metabolites destroy the enzymes responsible for DNA repair. This leads to:

• Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): A fast-growing blood cancer.
• Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS): Often called “pre-leukemia,” where the bone marrow produces “blasts” instead of healthy blood cells.
• Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Cancer of the lymphatic system.

In 2024, a Pennsylvania jury awarded $725 million against ExxonMobil for a mechanic’s benzene-induced AML. This proves that when the science is presented clearly, juries understand the level of corporate betrayal. Detailed toxicological profiles on benzene can be found via the ATSDR: https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp3.pdf. If you are struggling with a blood disorder after working at a chemical plant near City of East Mountain, call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, confidential scientific review of your exposure history.

The Insider Advantage: Why Lupe Peña Changes Your Case

Most personal injury firms have lawyers who have spent their whole careers on the plaintiff’s side. At Attorney 911, we added a strategic weapon to our City of East Mountain litigation team. Lupe Peña spent years as an insurance defense attorney. He was the one sitting across the table, hired by the big chemical and oil companies to find ways to DISMISS cases like yours.

Lupe knows exactly how they:

• Hide internal safety audits during the discovery phase.
• Pressure company doctors to provide “favorable” medical evaluations.
• Use “statutes of repose” to argue that a building was constructed too long ago for a lawsuit.

When we file a case for a City of East Mountain worker, Lupe reads the defense’s motions and says, “I know exactly what they’re doing here because I used to write these.” This insight allows us to “front-load” our evidence, making your case virtually bulletproof against their standard delay tactics. Watch Lupe’s video on deposition questions to see his tactical approach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_qCwqfeRRs. Having an insider on your side doesn’t just improve your case; it levels the playing field against billion-dollar defendants.

Evidence Preservation: Moving Fast in City of East Mountain

In a toxic exposure case, time is the enemy of truth. As soon as a corporation hears about a potential health cluster or a catastrophic accident near City of East Mountain, their risk management teams begin a “document retention” protocol. In plain English: they start looking for reasons to shred records.

What We Preserve Immediately

Within hours of you calling 1-888-ATTY-911, we can send formal Spoliation Letters to your current and former employers. These letters legally command them to preserve:

1. Industrial Hygiene Samples: The actual measurements of how much asbestos or benzene was in the air at your job site.
2. OSHA 300 Logs: The records of every other worker who got sick or injured in your unit.
3. Process Safety Management (PSM) Audits: The internal “red flags” that safety managers raised and executives ignored.
4. SDS Sheets: The Material Safety Data Sheets for every chemical you touched.

We also use Ralph’s evidence guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLbpzrmogTs) to help you document your own history. Your own photos, union cards, and co-worker contact lists are the “smoking guns” of a toxic tort case. As Chad Harris shared: “Atty. Manginello stepped in and absolutely fought for us. A true PITT BULL and fighter. He don’t play!” We bring that aggressive energy to the evidence-gathering phase because we know that if we don’t catch the proof now, it will be gone by trial.

Multiple Compensation Pathways for City of East Mountain Families

When a father in City of East Mountain passes away from an industrial disease, the family is often left in financial ruin. At Attorney 911, we look at the whole picture to ensure no money is left on the table.

Survival Actions vs. Wrongful Death

In Texas, these are two separate claims that stack on top of each other:

• The Survival Action: Recovers the damages the victim suffered before they passed—their pain, suffering, and medical bills. This money goes to the victim’s estate.
• The Wrongful Death Claim: Recovers the damages the survivors suffer—loss of a husband’s income, loss of a father’s guidance, and emotional mental anguish.

For veterans in Upshur County, we also coordinate with VA benefits. Under the PACT Act, many toxic exposures are now “presumptive,” meaning you no longer have to prove service-connection for 23 different conditions, including lung cancer and chronic bronchitis. You can receive your full VA monthly check AND pursue a civil lawsuit against the manufacturers of the toxic products that poisoned you. Learn more about PACT Act eligibility here: https://www.va.gov/resources/the-pact-act-and-your-va-benefits/

Hablamos Español: Servicing the City of East Mountain Community

The industrial workforce of Northeast Texas is diverse, and many of the hardest-working people in our refineries and construction sites speak Spanish as their primary language. At Attorney 911, there is no language barrier. Attorney Lupe Peña is fluent in Spanish and is a third-generation Texan with deep roots in the Kineños culture of South Texas.

Why Choose Attorney 911 for your City of East Mountain Case?

You have seen the commercials for the giant national mesothelioma firms. They treat you like a number in a database, often referring your case out to other lawyers you’ve never met. Attorney 911 is a boutique litigation firm with the resources of a giant. When you call our office, you talk to us.

• 27+ Years of Experience: Ralph Manginello has been fighting these battles since 1998.
• Federal Court Admission: We are admitted to the Southern District of Texas, where many high-value toxic tort cases are heard.
• The BP Texas City Legacy: Ralph was part of the team that took on British Petroleum after the 2005 refinery explosion—a case that resulted in $2.1 billion in total settlements.
• 4.9-Star Reputation: Our 270+ Google reviews (https://www.surecritic.com/reviews/manginello-law-firm) prove that we deliver communication and results. As Glenda Walker shared: “They make you feel like family… they fought for me to get every dime I deserved.”

We work on a contingency fee basis. This means we advance all the costs of your case—thousands of dollars for expert witnesses, medical reviews, and investigators. You pay us NOTHING unless we win your case. This removes the financial risk, allowing a City of East Mountain family to focus on healing while we focus on the fight.

City of East Mountain Toxic Exposure FAQ

I lived in City of East Mountain but worked in Longview refineries 30 years ago. Is it too late to sue?

No. Under the Texas discovery rule, the two-year statute of limitations for toxic exposure usually begins when you are diagnosed with the disease and learn of its connection to your former job. Even if the exposure was in 1975, a 2026 diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestosis can still be a valid legal claim. However, you must act as soon as you receive a diagnosis to preserve your rights.

How much are mesothelioma settlements in City of East Mountain?

While every case is unique, national averages for mesothelioma settlements typically range between $1 million and $1.4 million. Trial verdicts can be much higher, often exceeding $5 million to $10 million depending on the evidence of corporate concealment. Trust fund payments are separate and provide an additional source of recovery from multiple bankrupt manufacturers. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free case valuation.

Can I file an asbestos claim if I smoked?

Yes. Smoking does not cause mesothelioma. It is a scientific fact that asbestos is the primary cause. For lung cancer, asbestos and smoking have a “synergistic” effect, meaning they work together to multiply your risk 50-fold. This makes the asbestos manufacturer MORE liable, not less, because they sold a product that was even more deadly to a large segment of the population.

What if my former employer in Upshur County is out of business?

Many industrial employers and product manufacturers who went out of business established bankruptcy trusts specifically to pay future disease claims. Even if the building is gone and the company name has changed, the money is often still available through the trust system. We also investigate “successor liability” to see if a larger corporation bought the old company and inherited its debts to injured workers.

Do I have to go to trial?

Approximately 95% of toxic exposure and personal injury cases settle before trial. Most corporations would rather settle once they see that Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña have a “trial-ready” case full of documented evidence. However, we prepare every case as if it is going to a jury, which is why we get the maximum possible offers from the start.

Does workers’ comp prevent me from suing for benzene leukemia?

In Texas, workers’ compensation usually protects your DIRECT employer from a lawsuit. However, it does not protect the chemical manufacturer, the plant owner (if you were a contractor), or the supplier of the contaminated product. These “third-party” claims are where the real compensation lives, as they include damages for pain, suffering, and the full economic impact on your family.

What are the first steps to take after a diagnosis?

1. Contact Attorney 911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 to protect your deadlines.
2. Begin a “work history diary,” listing every job site and the products you remember.
3. Do not sign any “releases of liability” or “settlement offers” from your employer until we review them.
4. Focus on your treatment at an NCI-designated cancer center like MD Anderson.

How do I know if my water in City of East Mountain has PFAS?

PFAS “forever chemicals” are found in many water supplies near airports or industrial training sites that used AFFF firefighting foam. The EPA recently set a strict new limit of 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS (https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/and-polyfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas). If your community’s water testing exceeds these levels and you have developed kidney cancer, testicular cancer, or thyroid disease, you may have a claim against the chemical manufacturers like 3M and DuPont.

What is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act?

The CLJA allows veterans and their families who were at Camp Lejeune, NC between 1953 and 1987 to sue the US government for injuries caused by poisoned water. If you are a veteran now living in City of East Mountain, this is a major NEW window for compensation. The administrative filing process is active, and payments are being approved now.

Will my case be a “class action”?

No. For serious diseases like mesothelioma or AML, we file INDIVIDUAL lawsuits. You are not just a name in a huge list; you are a unique plaintiff with your own medical history and specific damages. Mass torts consolidate cases for pretrial efficiency, but your final settlement is based on your specific situation.

Can I switch lawyers if my current firm isn’t calling me back?

Yes. You have the right to fire your lawyer and hire a firm that prioritizes your case. Many of our clients come to us from larger “television firms” where they couldn’t get an actual attorney on the phone. As Beth Bonds shared: “Ralph Manginello took [the] bogus case and had it dismissed within a WEEK! I have been trying to get that accomplished for over 2 years.”

What are “B Readers”?

“B Readers” are specialized radiologists certified by NIOSH (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/chestradiography/breader.html) to identify asbestos and silica damage on X-rays. Standard hospital doctors often miss the early signs of occupational lung disease. We work with board-certified B Readers to provide the irrefutable medical proof required for bankruptcy trusts and court trials.

Can I sue for “take-home” exposure?

Yes. If a worker in City of East Mountain unknowingly brought asbestos fibers or lead dust home on their clothing, and their spouse or child got sick 30 years later, that is a valid “secondary exposure” claim. The company had a duty to provide laundry services and showers to prevent the spread of lethal toxins to workers’ families.

What is rhabdomyolysis in oilfield injuries?

When a worker is crushed or buried in a trench collapse, muscle tissue dies and releases a protein called myoglobin into the blood. This causes “rhabdo,” which leads to sudden kidney failure. If you survived an accident in Upshur County but now have permanent kidney damage, this is a devastating injury that justifies high-value damages.

Why is Ralph’s BP Texas City experience important?

Refinery litigation is incredibly complex. The BP case involved 15 deaths and nearly 200 injuries, requiring millions of pages of document reviews. Ralph Manginello’s role in that $2.1 billion litigation means he has already seen every trick a multinational corporation will try to play. Most local PI lawyers have never tackled a defendant that size. We have.

What is a “Longevity Check”?

In toxic torts, we evaluate the financial stability of the defendants. Some trusts reduce their payment percentages over time. A “Longevity Check” is when we analyze which trusts are likely to pay the most now versus later, ensuring we file in the most strategic order to protect your family’s financial future.

Can undocumented workers in the City of East Mountain construction industry sue?

Absolutely. Occupational safety laws and personal injury rights apply to every person working on Texas soil. You cannot be deported for filing a lawsuit for an injury. We offer confidential bilingual services, and we have a long history of protecting the rights of immigrant workers who have been treated as “expendable” by negligent contractors.

The Time for Justice is Now

Corporate defense teams are not waiting. Right now, they are preparing their “junk science” experts and their “statute of repose” arguments. They are betting that you will stay confused, that you will focus only on your health, and that the clock will run out on your rights. They want to wait until your medical records are archived and your witnesses have passed away.

Don’t give them that advantage. Attorney 911 was founded on the belief that a legal crisis is a 911 emergency. When a City of East Mountain family calls us, they get a team that moves with the speed and aggression needed to secure a multi-million-dollar future. You spent your life working for these companies; they shouldn’t get to walk away from the damage they caused your health.

We serve City of East Mountain, Upshur County, and all of Northeast Texas. Whether we meet you at our offices, in your home, or over a secure Zoom call, your fight becomes our fight the moment we answer.
