Toxic Torts

A toxic tort is defined by direct or indirect absorption, contact, ingestion, inhalation, implantation or injection of any substance harmful to the body. Since the advance of the industrial revolution, naturally occurring minerals and man-made materials have become essential in the technological growth of the nation. Unfortunately, many of these minerals, materials and compounds, such as asbestos and benzene, are extremely harmful to those who were exposed to them during the course of their employment. Furthermore, companies, manufacturers and distributors of these toxic products were well aware of the dangers associated with their products, yet they ignored, scaled down or denied the health risks.

Proving toxic tort cases is complex and requires substantial research into liability regarding the product at fault. Manufacturers and corporations go out of their way to protect themselves from toxic tort claims, as it costs them millions of dollars in insurance claims every year.
