Toxic Tort Attorneys

Toxic torts are an area of law dealing with a victim’s exposure to a dangerous toxic substance, such as a pharmaceutical drug or an environmental hazard. In Louisiana, you may be exposed to hazardous toxins every day at home or at work and not even realize it.

Toxic torts primarily fall under the following categories:

• Occupational Exposure, which involves exposure to toxic chemicals at work.
• Pharmaceuticals, which involve injuries caused by dangerous or defective medications or drugs.
• Home injuries, which primarily involve exposure to mold, construction materials treated with formaldehyde, or exposure to pesticides, perchloroethylene (PEC) or to lead paint.
• Environmental exposure which involves exposure to dangerous toxins in the air or water.
