This CLE course will provide practical guidance to personal injury attorneys for pursing or defending toxic exposure claims. Our panel will discuss theories of liability, causation, defenses, jurisdiction and damages. The panel will outline best practices for plaintiff and defense counsel.

Description

Toxic exposure personal injury claims have exploded in recent years with claims filed for illnesses related to exposure to substances including asbestos, talc, lead and more. These claims frequently settle for or receive multi-million dollar verdicts due to the severity of the exposure-related illnesses.

To successfully bring or defend against a toxic exposure tort claim, counsel must be able to establish or attack the various theories of liability such as negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty or fraud. Counsel must consider the challenges involved in pursuing causation and potential affirmative defenses. Moreover, these cases often present unique statute of limitations issues.

Litigation over toxic exposure is continuously evolving with advances in manufacturing, science and technology. Scientific evidence and expert witnesses have been and continue to be challenged by defense counsel, who have won significant recent victories on summary judgment and in reversing million dollar verdicts.

Listen as our authoritative panel of practitioners discusses issues and recommendations in toxic exposure personal injury claims. The panel will address the problematic issue of proof and the challenges that damages pose in these claims.
