Toxic tort cases involve injuries caused by exposure to hazardous substances — chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, asbestos, and contaminated water or air. These cases are scientifically complex and require proof that the specific exposure caused the specific injury.
Mass tort cases like the Camp Lejeune water contamination litigation, Roundup litigation, asbestos MDL, and PFAS 'forever chemical' cases involve thousands of plaintiffs and billions in potential damages. The archive tracks these litigation developments as they proceed through the courts.
Environmental justice is a growing area of law. Communities disproportionately exposed to pollution from industrial facilities, Superfund sites, and contaminated water supplies have legal rights.
