Toxic
Tort Litigation
Tort refers to the body of the law that allows a wrongfully
injured person to obtain compensation ("damages")
from the person or persons who caused the injury. Toxic
torts are those tort cases that involve personal injuries
caused by exposure to toxic and other dangerous substances
and devices. Examples include asbestos, chemicals, hazardous
waste, medical products and devices.
If
you have been injured by any toxic substance or dangerous
device, you may be able to recover monetary damages
for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering,
and sometimes punitive damages through a toxic tort
lawsuit. If large numbers of others have experienced
the same toxic tort, your case may become part of a
class action lawsuit.
Due
to the sometimes-long latent periods of many diseases
associated with toxic substances, class actions are
often not brought until many years after the large numbers
of people were exposed to the toxins.
In
a toxic tort lawsuit, you as the plaintiff must prove
that you were exposed to the toxic substance or device.
Also, you must prove the toxic substance or device caused
your injuries. Also, you must be able to prove that
you suffered damages.
