Toxic Torts
Toxic torts are a specific kind of litigation dealing with injury caused by those who manufacture, use or distribute various kinds of toxic chemicals. A toxic tort can occur due to a chemical spill, hazardous waste accident, or other negligence that leads to dangerous exposure to hazardous materials or chemicals.
Whether the victims of this negligent exposure are a neighborhood, a group of workers, or users of a particular product, Schlichter, Bogard & Denton can help with a toxic tort consultation to determine liability and to build a case.
Examples of Toxic Tort Litigation
Some recent toxic tort litigation has involved toxic substances such as:
- Benzene
- Heavy metals
- Chlorine
- Toxic molds
- Asbestos
Substances like these can be found in fertilizers, water contamination, contamination by nuclear or chemical plants, or as the result of transportation accidents or other types of waste spills. Toxic tort litigation usually involves a large group of people who have been injured due to the negligence that led to their exposure to dangerous substances. Information gained through toxic tort litigation can also help determine the long-term effects and toxicity of various substances.
