A Toxic Chemical Exposure Lawsuit
Toxic chemical exposure cases fall under a particular type of personal injury lawsuit known as Toxic Tort. A toxic tort is a lawsuit in which the plaintiff claims that exposure to a chemical caused the plaintiff’s injury or disease. Under civil law, an injured party must argue certain theories of negligence in order to prove that another party’s action or inaction has resulted in the financial damages the plaintiff has suffered. In a toxic tort case, the precipitating event can be the release of some harmful substance from an industrial or commercial facility that causes personal injury and/or property damage to individuals or landowners in the vicinity of the release.
A lawsuit is often necessary to maximize the settlement value of your case since often the defendants in toxic chemical exposure cases are well-funded corporations. These cases are highly complex and require the support of qualified medical evidence to support claims for damages.
