Overview
At Brown Sims, we provide robust defense against toxic tort claims, a challenging area of law where individuals or groups seek damages for injuries allegedly caused by exposure to hazardous substances. These cases often involve complex allegations of chemical spills, asbestos exposure, mold contamination, or pharmaceutical side effects, targeting businesses ranging from manufacturers to property owners. Our experienced defense attorneys are skilled at dismantling these claims, protecting our clients from inflated liability and ensuring their interests prevail in the face of aggressive litigation.
Toxic torts demand a sophisticated defense strategy, blending scientific analysis with legal acumen. We work closely with expert witnesses—toxicologists, epidemiologists, and industry specialists—to challenge causation, dispute the extent of harm, and undermine plaintiffs’ evidence. Our team excels at identifying procedural weaknesses, such as statute of limitations issues or lack of standing, while aggressively contesting class certifications in mass tort actions. Whether negotiating cost-effective settlements or litigating in court, we aim to minimize financial and reputational damage for our clients.
With a strong history of success in toxic tort defense, Brown Sims is a trusted partner for businesses navigating these high-stakes disputes. We understand the regulatory and public relations pressures that accompany such claims, and we craft defenses that align with your operational goals.
