Toxic Tort Law
More than $4 Billion Won for Injury Victims Nationwide
From environmental contamination to defective and dangerous products, there are many ways that large companies may expose the public to toxic chemicals. By holding polluters and manufacturers accountable for the damage that they cause, toxic tort lawyers play an important role in making our homes and businesses safer – and ensuring that the industry follows stricter safety standards in the future.
At Wisner Baum, our toxic tort lawyers have been fighting for victims, promoting public safety, and holding Fortune 500 companies accountable for almost 50 years. In the process, we’ve won over $4 billion for injury victims over all areas of practice, including $2.424 billion won in the first three major trials against agrochemical giant Monsanto for Roundup cancer cases. We believe that it is not only our role but our duty to help victims seek restitution after toxic chemical exposure, and we are ready to aggressively fight for your rights.
