BERYLLIUM EXPOSURE AT THE BANNISTER FEDERAL COMPLEX
Peterson & Associates, P.C., is currently investigating the Bannister
Federal Complex for Beryllium and radiation exposure. Beryllium is a hard,
lightweight metal that is very strong and easy to shape. Beryllium
and beryllium compounds have many industrial uses. Beryllium copper
alloys and beryllium oxide ceramics are used in the electronic, nuclear
and aerospace industries. The Bannister Federal Complex is divided between
the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
and the General Services Administration (GSA). Since 1949, the Bannister
Federal Complex has built nonnuclear components for nuclear weapons. As
a result, the complex has evolved into a high-tech research production facility
that specializes in science-based manufacturing. Honeywell Federal
Manufacturing & Technologies, the prime contractor operating the plant,
currently employs more than 2,300 people. As part of our investigation, we
have retained a prominent toxicology expert to assist in evaluating the
exposure. If you have been diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, Chronic Beryllium
Disease (CBD), Berylliosis, Mesothelioma, Lung or other types of Cancer, or
suffer from symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, wheezing,
fatigue, weight loss, fever, skin symptoms (such as rash, lesions, color
change or nodules) eye symptoms (such as blurred vision, eye pain, severe
redness or sensitivity to light) or any other unusual symptoms,
please contact us at 816-law-firm to discuss your situation

Pharmaceutical
Litigation
If you are like countless Americans, you
depend on prescription or over-the-counter
drugs to improve your health. As a consumer,
you expect that companies have taken every
step to ensure that these drugs will be
safe. Unfortunately, every year thousands of
people experience harmful side effects due
to defective drugs that result in serious
injury and even death.
Medical Devices
Medical devices such as pacemakers and
prosthetics are commonly used to improve a
patient’s quality of life or well-being.
They are meant to help healthcare
professionals diagnose, supervise, and treat
medical conditions. All medical devices must
be approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) to assess their safety,
effectiveness and quality before being sold
to the public.

Associates, P.C. has been serving clients

Nursing Home
Litigation
Nearly 2 million elderly adults live in
nursing homes throughout the U.S. A rapidly
aging population means thousands more will
move to adult care facilities in coming
years, and it is predicted that the number
of elder abuse cases will also be on the
upswing.
