Asbestos and Chemical Exposure
The Firm’s members have considerable litigation experience in complex toxic tort and product liability cases and have represented clients in numerous matters that draw upon theories of liability that pertain to design and manufacturing defects, defective warning/labeling and product tampering with products that include automobiles, construction materials, architectural renderings, computers, clothing, industrial chemicals, asbestos, solvents, adhesives and many other consumer goods.
The firm successfully defended its clients in benchmark chemical exposure/cancer litigation involving hundreds of current and former employees who sued IBM and many of its chemical suppliers alleging that their cancers were caused by workplace exposure to chemical agents at IBM's San Jose and New York manufacturing facilities. This was the first litigation of its kind in the computer/semi-conductor industry.
