When Do I Need a Toxic Tort Lawyer?

In toxic tort matters, it is always highly recommended that you speak with an attorney before making any decision or action that could compromise your recovery. Proving causation is difficult in toxic tort claims, and you will likely be facing a large company or corporation who is prepared to argue against your claim.

What Is an Environmental Hazard Lawsuit?

Environmental hazards lawsuits cover a ride-range of litigation. Typically, though, the goal is to hold polluters and manufacturers of toxic materials accountable for their actions and help the victims of their negligence recover damages for their illnesses and/or injuries.

Due to the serious nature of environmental hazard lawsuits, litigation may also result in the negligent party paying punitive damages. Punitive damages are exemplary damage assessed to punish the defendant when their behavior or negligence is considered especially egregious or outrageous. In a toxic tort lawsuit, the hope is that punitive damages will serve as an example to other polluters that their behavior will not be tolerated.
