We help clients defend themselves against claims involving various materials and systems, including:

  • Lead paint
  • Asbestos

TOXIC TORT DEFENSE FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL MANUFACTURERS

Nevertheless, allegations that a manufacturer failed to provide adequate warnings regarding potential hazards and safe handling can subject manufacturers to products liability claims. Current and former construction industry workers who develop chronic conditions or cancers frequently place the blame on the companies that produced the products they used during their careers. These cases can be complex and extremely technical, requiring the insight and experience of a knowledgeable toxic torts attorney.
