toxic torts

Toxic torts are legal cases involving harm caused by exposure to harmful substances, like chemicals or toxins. They arise when someone suffers health problems—such as illnesses or injuries—due to negligence or misconduct by a company or individual who failed to warn about or prevent exposure. Examples include exposure to asbestos, chemicals, or pollutants. These cases seek to hold responsible parties accountable and often involve claims for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages stemming from the toxic exposure.
