Toxic
Toxic tort litigation has exploded over the last 30 years, spawned by the rising awareness of environmental and personal injuries caused by corporate greed.
Toxic tort litigation encompasses a wide range of chemical and other substance poisoning claims.
Intent on making a profit, many corporations have been unwilling to police their practices - at the expense of the public. But victims now are beginning to target corporations for civil liability and make them own up to their irresponsibility.
When chemical and substance mishaps occur, large groups of people may be affected before the cause has been discovered. There can be a long latency period due to the often-slow nature of chemical poisoning through the water, soil, and air.
Examples of substances that have affected the health of litigants:
- Lead paint, which causes brain damage
- Asbestos, which causes lung diseases
- Dry cleaning solvents, which have caused brain damage and major organ damage
- Fire-retardant building materials and furniture
- Toxic landfill waste, which has caused leukemia and has poisoned entire towns
- Pesticides such as dioxin and DDT, which have caused birth injuries and birth defects
- Electro-magnetic fields generated by utility wires or major appliances
- Various common industrial chemicals, including benzene and PCBs
- Heavy metal and other chemical poisoning, such as by mercury and arsenic
A well-known example of a toxic substance destroying countless lives is Agent Orange, a defoliant used in the Vietnam War. Another is the 1984 Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal, India. A cloud of methyl isocyanate leaked, immediately killing approximately 2,000 people, and causing 8,000 subsequent deaths and 300,000 injuries.
The grounds for suing a company for liability are negligence, breach of warranty, or strict product liability. The judge or jury will determine if the defendant used a chemical, mineral, or other harmful substance dangerously, causing injury to the victim.
