A toxic tort is a civil action seeking damages for exposure to toxic chemicals, such as mercury or pesticides. While many people think of toxic torts as work related injuries, in reality some of the nation's largest toxic tort cases have involved environmental toxins in people's own backyards. At Kenneth M. Levine & Associates we are committed to ensuring that individuals, families, and communities that have been exposed to toxins receive optimal compensation for injuries.

 

    Proving toxic tort cases is complex. Industries, corporations, and manufacturers go out of their way to protect themselves from toxic tort claims. Our firm is dedicated to helping people who have suffered illness related to toxic exposure receive the compensation they need to move forward with their lives.

 

    Kenneth M. Levine & Associates has the skill, experience, and resources to handle toxic tort cases. Our attorneys understand that proving toxic tort cases requires more than an illness and a comprehensive understanding of tort law. When our firm handles a toxic tort case, our attorneys work with leading experts from throughout the county, including doctors, toxicologists, scientists, and economists.

 

    Toxic torts often involve multiple plaintiffs and involve chemicals previously know to be toxic. Many government agencies have information about dangerous chemicals in the environment and in industry. Agencies that have information include the Department of Public Health, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the United States Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).
