Product Liability: Toxic Tort |
Overview
Whenever a company uses a chemical or potentially harmful substance, it runs the risk of facing liability claims and possible class action lawsuits should employees, customers or third parties allege that they were harmed by the substance. Perkins Coie has extensive experience representing manufacturers and users of chemicals in a wide range of toxic tort litigation. With access to experts in various disciplines, our litigators understand the science behind toxic tort lawsuits and have successfully handled cases through pre-trial dismissals, summary judgments, jury trials and appeals for multi-national corporations. In addition to litigation defense, we provide clients with preventive counseling, offering in-house workshops and review of insurance policies. We have represented clients in cases on a range of products including insulation, polyurethane foam, paints, solvents, repellants, pharmaceuticals, aircraft cabin air quality and asbestos.
