Toxic Torts

"Toxic torts" refers to an area of the law dealing with injuries to a person or their property resulting from exposure to dangerous or toxic substances or products. At The Law Offices of James Stanton, L.P., our attorneys represent businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth and throughout Texas who are being sued by those alleging a toxic tort.

There are many types of substances and products that have been the basis for toxic tort litigation, the most well known of which is asbestos. Our toxic tort lawyers handle asbestos defense litigation for the manufacturers and distributors of asbestos products such as floor and ceiling tiles, gaskets, and brake linings. Other types of toxic torts include chemical exposure cases, where an individual is allegedly injured through exposure to hazardous substances such as benzene, or suffer from silicosis (a lung disease resulting from exposure to small sand granules during sandblasting). Recently, there have been product exposure cases for cellular phones, where consumers alleged that they were developing brain tumors as a result of their phones; and for breast implants that leak and cause injury.
