Being a party in a lawsuit is a frightening experience, whether you are suing or being sued. It is like traveling through a foreign country where you can neither speak the language nor understand the customs. You have to rely entirely on your guide. Would you not like to have a guide to the language and customs of this foreign land? That would reduce your dependence on your guide, not eliminate it but make the trip less frightening and more enjoyable. This book is intended to help you understand the foreign world of litigation. Written by a native of that foreign land, it will help you understand the language and the customs of the world of the courtroom. It lets you understand what the lawyer for the other side is trying to do and why. It gives you an understanding of what your lawyer should be doing and why. It is not a replacement for your lawyer, just a guide to help you understand what happens in the process of preparing for a trial and in the trial itself.

A chemical injury can happen at any time to anyone, regardless of age, background, or economic status. It can happen either on the job or in the home, and can affect many members of a community. Such an injury often does not show up immediately but develops over a long period. Often, however, sufferers from chemical exposure are victimized not only by the chemicals but also by a legal system that seems to require complicated and expensive court action. This helpful guide to chemical-injury litigation offers practical strategies that clients and their attorneys can use to better serve their cases. Presenting a clear blueprint of client rights and responsibilities, the book will improve the standard of legal services for both individuals and communities. The guide addresses in detail several important areas of chemical injury and the legal process: defining problems and solutions; examining available resources; cultivating a knowledge of chemical-related diseases and injuries; and facilitating effective attorney-client relationships and case strategies. Leading attorneys contribute case studies and essays offering perspectives on chemical injury and the law.
