Get Legal Help for Ethylene Oxide Exposure
People who lived near commercial sterilization facilities may have been unknowingly exposed to dangerous levels of ethylene oxide (EtO), a toxic gas linked to cancer. If you or a loved one lived within five miles of one of these facilities and has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, myeloma, lymphocytic leukemia, or breast cancer, you may be eligible to take legal action. Exposure may have been direct or indirect, and the consequences can be life-changing. Fill out the form to learn if you qualify.

Common Concerns
Bob Goldwater is the Founder and Managing Partner of the Goldwater Law Firm. For over 30 years, he has built a nationwide network of experienced and aggressive law firms dedicated to helping people recover compensation after being injured in an accident, as well as people harmed by dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, and other faulty products.
With a mission to provide fierce and compassionate legal help, the Goldwater Law Firm and its partners fight for the justice that clients deserve. If you've been injured due to someone else’s negligence, let the Goldwater Law Firm and its network of firms fight to get you the maximum compensation for your case.
If you are awarded a settlement, your attorney will be paid a percentage of the award as a reimbursement for the legal services rendered. The rest is yours to keep. You pay nothing unless you win with no out-of-pocket costs.
Participating in a multi-district litigation does not typically require a significant amount of time on the claimant’s part. You will need to speak with your attorney about the facts of your case, you may be required to fill out a few forms or an affidavit, and you may need to provide relevant medical records to demonstrate proof of your injuries.
Our organization is HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant and our employees are annually trained to handle your data securely.
This is unlikely; there is only a very small chance your case will go to court. In mass torts, only a few cases are tried in court, and those outcomes determine settlement negotiations for the remaining cases. Your lawyer will negotiate a settlement on your behalf based on the outcome of these trials in most cases without you going to court.
Unfortunately, the complexity of mass tort litigations means they take some time to resolve. Typically speaking, settlements occur within one to five years but sometimes take longer.

Ethylene Oxide Lawsuit
This is a Mass Tort, Not a Class Action – What's the difference?
In a mass tort, victims are treated as individuals, and the specific merits of each claim are taken into consideration. In a class action, every victim has a similar injury and is treated identically.
The benefit of mass tort litigation is that plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations, which ultimately leads to significantly greater payouts compared to class actions.
Settlements and payouts tend to be significantly higher compared to class action awards. Plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations.
