toxic tort

Toxic tort cases result when people are usually unknowingly exposed to unsafe chemicals or materials that cause injury, illness or death. Toxic chemicals or materials that unknowingly cause injury, illness or death may be in the area where someone lives or works. The toxins may be in the water, the air, the soil, or in the buidling or house itself. Because the injury, illness, or death may occur long after exposure to the toxic chemicals, it is not always immediately known that a toxic chemical was the cause. However, most often, in toxic tort cases, there are several others who have/had the same injury or illness.

Numerous recent toxic chemical cases include Diacytyl (popcorn lung disease), Avandia, Accutane, Byetta, Duragesic pain patch, Foasmax, Gadolinium, Ortho Evra, Paxil, Prempro, Renu, Raptiva, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Trasylol and Manganese poisoning.
