Harvey Kruse Logo 248-649-7800 PRACTICE AREAS Toxic Torts Toxic tort claims can be quite variable in terms of their overall scope, complexity, and inherent liability exposure. Some case can involve exposures to occurred over decades, while others matters may concern isolated chemical exposures. Each of these situations will require a different approach to defend clients in the ensuing litigation successfully. Over the years, large-scale toxic tort disputes have attracted highly-skilled and sophisticated plaintiffs’ firms that take an aggressive stance towards such litigation, hoping to secure a favorable settlement. To mount an effective defense, it is critical that you engage an experienced firm with the resources, technological understanding, trial-readiness and litigation background necessary to challenge the aggressive tactics employed by toxic tort plaintiffs.
