Asbestos Litigation
Asbestos litigation encompasses mesothelioma lawsuits and is often called toxic tort litigation. This type of lawsuit is typically brought against a manufacturer or supplier of a chemical or substance that causes injury or illness.
Toxic tort cases usually involve people facing devastating illness and great hardship. Even so, these cases can be difficult to prove. Often, a long period of time elapses between exposure to the toxin and diagnosis of a related illness. Sometimes, as in the case of cancer, several decades may pass before the cancer appears.
Despite these challenges, Waters & Kraus, LLP, is dedicated to helping families harmed by exposure to toxic substances such as asbestos. Email our asbestos attorneys or call to find out more.
