Types of Toxic Torts 


A toxic tort involves exposure to harmful substances through air, soil, or water.  The harmful effects of the contamination may be felt by an individual, a family, or even an entire community. When this exposure results in serious injuries, health problems, or even death, and you can show that those problems were caused by the negligence of others, you may be entitled to compensation.
