A landlord sprays pesticides inside an apartment with children. A contractor cuts corners using formaldehyde-treated wood in a deck. A factory pumps cancer-causing pollutants into groundwater near a subdivision. Every day, people are exposed to toxic chemicals in the workplace, at home, and from the environment — and the corporations responsible deny it for decades.

We represent the victims of toxic exposure against these powerful interests. Matt Schad has handled pesticide poisoning, mold toxicity, asbestos exposure, arsenic-treated wood, dry-cleaner contamination, and lead-paint brain injuries in children — difficult, costly cases that demand expert medical and scientific testimony. He has obtained six-, seven-, and even eight-figure settlements and verdicts for injured clients.

States and counties have a legal responsibility to design and maintain roads in a safe condition. Accidents are not always the fault of the drivers — dangerous roads are traps that cause serious injury and death, and too many people simply take the police report's word for what happened.

When we take a serious accident case, we visit the scene and examine whether an unsafe roadway played a part. As local attorneys in Southern Indiana and Louisville, we know the area's notorious highways firsthand. Matt Schad has settled serious defective-highway cases and taken road-design cases to jury trial when those responsible denied accountability.

Estate planning is something we all need and so often ignore — and the cost of not having a plan is a cost your loved ones will pay. We offer estate planning for Indiana and Kentucky residents: wills, trusts, general and health-care powers of attorney, living wills, guardianships, advance health-care directives, and deeds. We can also help with qualifying for programs like Medicaid, nursing home costs, protecting assets, and probating an estate.

Estate planning consultations are free — talk to Cameron Fathauer about getting your plan in place.
