Toxic Torts
Sugarman Law Firm has successfully defended a wide array of toxic tort claims
involving lead-based paint, asbestos products, mold, and industrial chemicals
and solvents, including benzene. We have represented clients facing the following
types of claims:
-
Personal injuries, including cancers and 'chemical sensitivities'
-
Property damage claims relating to cost of remediation and repair
-
Alleged design and construction errors resulting in claimed contamination
-
Alleged failure to properly identify and/or remediate claimed hazards
Successful defense of toxic tort claims requires both legal knowledge (particularly
with respect to how courts handle scientific matters) and technical knowledge with
respect to the 'toxic' substance at issue in a given case. Understanding both of these
aspects of a case can mean the difference between a successful defense and
significant monetary exposure.
Because both the science and the law in this area can be quite complex, it is important
to have an attorney that can both engage the plaintiff's expert on scientific matters
as well as explain difficult concepts to a jury.
