Exposure to carcinogens at work accounts for 2-8% of all cancers. Coupled with the drinking water of over 172 million Americans testing positive for contaminants, and over 2400 Louisiana water systems affected by said contaminants, toxic exposure isn’t always caused by sudden accidents.
Most cases of toxic exposure happen gradually over a period of years, and the health effects, like cancers, respiratory problems, or neurological damage, can be devastating. Knowing the kinds of hazards that often lead to legal claims can help you realize that it’s time to take action, and some of the most common kinds of toxic tort cases include:
● Water contamination caused by industrial waste or faulty infrastructure
● Chemical exposure at workplaces or construction sites
● Defective consumer products that release harmful toxins
● Environmental pollution that affects entire communities

A: Yes, toxic tort cases can involve multiple defendants, as more than one party could share responsibility. Determining all liable parties is important, as it can significantly affect the amount of compensation you could receive. At Ron Austin Law, we conduct thorough investigations to identify every responsible party, gather the necessary evidence, and pursue claims under Louisiana’s toxic tort laws to maximize the chances of a successful outcome for our clients.
A: Water contamination is one of the most common types of cases in toxic tort claims. If drinking water is polluted with industrial chemicals, agricultural runoff, or hazardous waste is disposed of the wrong way, victims could develop serious illnesses. Toxic tort litigation can urge negligent companies to clean up the contamination, compensate victims for medical costs, and implement measures to prevent future harm.
A: Toxic tort litigation is more complicated because it often involves scientific evidence, long-term exposure, and several different plaintiffs. Unlike a typical personal injury claim, these cases can require environmental testing, epidemiological studies, and professional testimony to prove the cause of the exposure. Also, toxic tort cases can take years to litigate, requiring attorneys who understand how to manage extensive discovery, class actions, or multidistrict litigation.
A: Yes, toxic tort claims can be brought as class actions. When a large group of people has been exposed to the same harmful substance, filing as a class action can be more efficient and impactful. It allows victims to pool resources, strengthen their case, and increase their bargaining power against large corporations. Ron Austin Law has experience handling toxic tort cases as class actions, and we make sure every victim’s voice is heard.
