A "Toxic Tort" refers to a legal claim arising from exposure to harmful substances, such as chemicals or pollutants. Individuals or groups may file these claims when they suffer health issues due to exposure to toxic materials, often from products, workplaces, or environmental sources. Common examples include cases involving asbestos, pesticides, or industrial waste. In a toxic tort case, plaintiffs must prove that the toxic substance caused their injuries and that the responsible party was negligent. These cases can involve complex scientific evidence and often require expert testimony to establish a link between the exposure and the health effects experienced by the victims.
