Toxic Tort Litigation
Stand Strong Together: Seek Justice for Toxic Tort Litigation
Holding Companies Accountable for Toxic Exposure
Toxic exposure can quickly turn everyday life upside down. It can come from polluted air, unsafe water, contaminated soil, or harmful products. The damage can last for years. Toxic tort cases give people and communities a way to hold companies, property owners, or others responsible when their actions cause harm.
At Kent | Pincin Law, we stand with those who’ve been hurt by toxic exposure. Our team has the knowledge, resources, and determination to handle these tough cases and fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
What Is a Toxic Tort Case?
A toxic tort case is a legal claim that comes up when someone gets sick or hurt because of exposure to harmful chemicals or materials. This kind of exposure can happen at work, at home, through everyday products, or even in public places.
Often, it doesn’t just affect one person. It can impact entire neighborhoods, communities, or groups of workers. Here are some common examples of toxic tort cases:
- Being exposed to harmful chemicals at work, like asbestos, benzene, or pesticides
- Drinking water that’s been contaminated by industrial pollution or waste
- Living in a home with toxic mold, lead paint, or other dangerous materials
- Getting sick from defective products made with unsafe chemicals
- Experiencing health problems after large environmental disasters that release toxins into the air, soil, or water
Toxic exposure can cause serious health issues. Some people develop breathing problems or skin conditions, while others face life-threatening illnesses like cancer or neurological disorders.
The tough part is that symptoms often don’t show up right away. It can take months or even years before people realize they’ve been affected. That’s one reason these cases can be so complicated.
Why Toxic Tort Cases Are Complicated
Toxic tort cases aren’t like ordinary injury claims. They usually take a lot of digging, testing, and expert proof to show exactly how someone got sick.
It’s not enough to say a person was exposed to something harmful. You have to clearly show that the exposure caused the illness or injury. These cases often involve things like:
- Medical and scientific experts who can explain how the exposure caused harm
- Environmental testing and detailed reports
- Complicated legal issues involving big companies
- State and federal environmental rules that need to be followed
Because of how complex these cases can be, they’re often filed as mass tort or class action lawsuits. That means a group of people come together to sue the responsible party. Working as a group helps build a stronger case and makes it easier to share resources and legal support.
How Kent | Pincin Law Can Help
At Kent | Pincin Law, we know how serious toxic exposure can be for individuals, families, and entire communities. That’s why we’re ready to stand up to powerful companies and fight for the justice you deserve.
Here’s what we do to help:
Careful investigation and case building
We work with environmental experts, medical professionals, and industry specialists to get the facts straight. We find out where the exposure came from, how it caused harm, and what evidence supports your claim. This gives us a strong foundation to build your case.
Strong legal representation
Toxic tort cases often involve large corporations or insurance companies with big legal teams. Our attorneys have the experience to take them on, whether through firm negotiations or by going to trial if needed. We don’t back down from tough opponents.
Personal attention
When you work with us, you’re not just another case file. You’ll work directly with Michael Kent or Emily Pincin, not a middleman. We make sure you know what’s happening with your case every step of the way.
No upfront costs
We take toxic tort cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay anything unless we win. This way, you can focus on your health and your family without worrying about legal bills.
Compensation in Toxic Tort Claims
Toxic exposure can lead to serious, long-term harm (not just to your health), but also to your finances and quality of life. If your claim is successful, you may be entitled to compensation that covers both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages
These are the direct financial losses caused by the exposure. They’re often easier to calculate because they involve clear costs, bills, or income losses. Examples include:
- Medical expenses (current and future): This includes hospital bills, medications, doctor visits, rehabilitation, therapy, and any long-term medical care needed because of the exposure.
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity: If you missed work or can no longer work because of your illness, you may be compensated for your lost income and potential future earnings.
- Relocation or remediation costs: If the exposure made your home or neighborhood unsafe, you may recover the costs of moving or cleaning up the property to make it safe again.
- Funeral and burial costs (in wrongful death cases): If the exposure results in death, surviving family members may recover the costs tied to laying their loved one to rest.
Non-economic damages
These cover the more personal and emotional impact of toxic exposure. While harder to put a dollar amount on, they are just as important:
- Pain and suffering: This includes the physical pain and discomfort caused by illness or injury, as well as the emotional distress that comes with it.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: When your illness limits your ability to live the way you once did, you may be compensated for that loss.
- Loss of companionship or emotional support: In wrongful death cases, families may be compensated for the emotional loss of a loved one.
