Toxic Tort Litigation

Toxic tort litigation is a dynamic area of the law that is steadily rising nationwide. Our attorneys have achieved an impressive record of high-profile successes defending businesses in claims involving alleged exposure to toxic substances, such as asbestos. Initially, we explore all avenues to resolve toxic tort claims efficiently and with our clients’ business goals in mind. However, when litigation becomes inevitable, our vast trial experience – backed by our unsurpassed medical, scientific and product knowledge – enable our trial lawyers to aggressively and cost-effectively defend toxic tort cases to achieve optimal client outcomes at the trial and appellate levels.

Our long-standing relationships with key experts in the medical field support our efforts to develop compelling science-backed defense strategies that win cases. In addition, our innate ability to communicate the legal and scientific facts in a way that judges and juries can understand is often the critical difference between success and failure in toxic tort defense.
