Madison County, Cook County and St. Louis City are sites of a large number of lawsuits involving a variety of toxic torts including asbestos, benzene, welding fume, thimerosal, vinyl-chloride, and many others. Our Firm has the knowledge and experience necessary to defend your company in this highly volatile area of the law. Our attorneys have extensive experience developing legal defenses on toxic tort matters. As a result of our many years of experience, our team has developed a library of legal, medical and professional literature as well as case material related to asbestos, erionite, and various other toxic and/or carcinogenic substances. In addition, the lawyers who work in this area are familiar with and are in contact with expert witnesses who are available to consult on the claims being made. We utilize this knowledge, experience and these resources to build a defense for your company and to promote early resolution.
