Toxic and Mass Torts

Increasingly, people are coming into contact with toxic substances in our environment and having serious medical problems as a result. Asbestos, Black Mold, Lead, Benzene, Chlorine, Copper, Mercury, Toxic Mold, Dioxin, and Silica are all examples of toxic tort substances, but there are others as well.

We have successfully handled major cases for groups of people injured as a result of exposure to toxic substances. For example, we handled the nationally renowned Times Beach cases which involved a group of residents of the Missouri town of Times Beach who became sick after the dirt streets of the town were sprayed with a substance containing dioxin. Fighting several chemical companies on behalf of the residents (in a case very similar to the movie, A Civil Action), we successfully won a settlement of $19 million dollars for the victims. We have also successfully obtained multimillion dollar settlements in other toxic tort cases involving lead and other chemicals.

If you have been injured or believe that you have been seriously impacted by exposure to toxic materials, it is important to contact an attorney who can help.
