A toxic tort is any tort caused by contact with a toxic substance. Tort is a legal term for what’s commonly called a personal injury claim: a wrong or injury to someone’s body, finances, or other interest caused by someone else’s negligence. In tort cases, victims are able to seek compensation for the damages they’ve suffered, whether they be from medical bills, lost work, or a lower quality of life.
Oftentimes, a toxic tort is predicated by a dangerous pharmaceutical drug, herbicide, or other chemical that many people are exposed to and harmed by. As a result, toxic tort cases tend to be combined together into mass tort cases, where many plaintiffs can share evidence and other resources while seeking compensation for their damages.
