Toxic Tort

Toxic tort refers to legal cases where individuals claim harm from exposure to toxic substances, such as chemicals, pesticides, or pollutants. These cases typically involve situations where people suffer health problems after being exposed to hazardous materials, whether in the workplace, environment, or through products. Plaintiffs seek compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, and suffering. Toxic tort cases can be complex, often requiring scientific evidence to prove the connection between the exposure and the harm caused. Common types include mass torts, where large groups are affected, and cases involving specific individuals or families.
