Louisiana Personal Injury Lawyer, Richard Voorhies

Personal Injury:  Toxic Tort

A toxic tort is a legal term of art which covers a wide array of personal injury claims including cases involving toxic mold, chemical exposure, products liability, real estate/construction remediation and environmental law claims.  These cases typically turn on expert testimony in the particular field at issue and can be won or lost in the discovery phase of the litigation.  Victims of toxic torts often require specialized medical treatment and long-term health care.  Unlike most personal injury cases, the health issues involved in toxic tort cases may be latent and unknown to the victim for months or even years.  In these long-term latency exposure cases, it is imperative that the victim receive proper medical treatment.
