Trying a toxic tort case is very different from other high-stakes litigation. This practice-focused guide explores the specific and often unique elements that distinguish this type of litigation, including the differing theories of liability and damages and the key procedural and substantive defenses to toxic tort claims. Other topics include scientific and medical evidence and causation, case strategy, trial management, settlement considerations, and causation standards that apply in four regions of the country, reviewing the standards that apply in every state.

The Second Edition of this casebook provides an integrated approach to private and public law responses to toxic insults to individuals and to the environment. The book explores: the ability of various legal theories to resolve toxic tort cases, the use of various branches of science to address the question of causation, the unique features of toxic tort remedies in the workplace, the role of public law, both in controlling risk and its interaction with private law, special damage issues that arise in toxic cases such as the right to medical monitoring, the insurance issues that arise in toxic tort cases, and the complex legal environment (bankruptcy, multidistrict litigation, class actions) in which toxic tort cases are often litigated. The casebook stands alone as an upper-level introduction to the ever-expanding role of toxic tort and environmental law regulation and litigation.

Gary Pittman and his co-workers were systematically exposed to toxic substances while working for Occidental Chemical Corporation's north Florida phosphoric acid plants and mines. "Phosphate - Fluorides - Toxic Torts" is a personal narrative by Pittman describing his seven-year battle with Occidental while suffering with chemical poisoning, and the obstacles he had to overcome in the pursuit of compensation. Occidental Chemical Corporation was no stranger to Toxic Tort litigation. They were the company named in the 1979 landmark case, "United States v. Occidental," about the "Love Canal" public health disaster in the late 1970s. In 1995, the "Love Canal" case was still in the courts when Pittman, a co-worker, and attorney, Dorothy Clay Sims took on the mammoth Occidental machine with their legions of law firms. Did Pittman win? Yes and no. When you have your health, you can always make more money, but when you are poisoned and debilitated, there's not enough money in the world to buy back your health.
