Toxic Torts

Toxic tort law covers a personal injury that results from exposure to a toxic substance. Toxic substances include:

• Asbestos
• Formaldehyde
• Lead
• Benzene

The Hampton and Virginia Beach law offices of Joynes & Gaidies represent those injured from exposure to toxic materials because of the wrongful or negligent actions of another. We can advise you if a toxic tort lawsuit is appropriate to your specific circumstances. If you have developed an illness as a result of this exposure, a successful lawsuit can recover:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Punitive damages
• Pain and suffering

These cases are notoriously challenging. They require an understanding of all the necessary elements that must be proven, including the responsible party’s knowledge of the danger. This type of personal injury case goes well beyond simply proving that the plaintiff was injured.

Complex cases require preparation and practical experience

Our lawyers must prove that the substance caused the injury, which requires scientific proof. Thus, scientific experts must be found, an understanding of the breath of the discovery requests must be understood, and the arguments must be framed to show how the toxic substance caused the injury. Your lawyer must coordinate all elements of the case and put the pieces together for a successful outcome.

We at Joynes & Gaidies think that teamwork is important to all of our clients’ cases. Experience shows that a deep understanding of our clients’ situation and needs improves the likelihood of a favorable outcome. No area of law proves the clear need for such teamwork more than toxic tort law.

We listen. We understand. We put together the experts and the puzzle pieces, and we are not afraid of a long, nasty fight. When it comes to toxic torts, it is your life and our community—losing is not an option.
