Our attorneys have defended thousands of toxic exposure claims across the nation in state and federal courts. Our clients include product, cosmetic, chemical, and industrial manufacturers and suppliers, railroads, property owners, and machinery companies. LCBF has decades of experience successfully representing the interests of its clients in the most challenging, plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions. We understand the many intricate issues associated with litigating these cases, and are proactive in identifying experts who understand and can communicate these complex scientific, medical, and technical matters on behalf of our clients.

Our attorneys have built a substantial knowledge base regarding industrial hygiene, epidemiology, microscopy, and medicine, and understand the unique liability and causation issues inherent in these types of claims. This technical know-how is especially important because success in toxic tort cases often turns on winning a challenge to the admissibility of a plaintiff’s “scientific” evidence or a well-prepared and effective cross-examination of a plaintiff’s causation expert. With our sophisticated knowledge and approach to different legal theories, as well as our team approach, we efficiently reach our clients’ optimal goals.
