These are difficult cases, but we are fighting to make a difference. We have worked hard to gain a nation-wide reputation in environmental litigation, often referred to as “toxic torts.”

From the largest toxic tort settlement in U.S. history approximately $700 million against Solutia, Monsanto and Pharmacia for PCB contamination to our $20.7 million verdict against Continental Carbon for carbon black air emissions, Beasley Allen is playing a significant role in toxic tort cases.

Protection of people and their property from large corporate polluters is our top priority. A unique feature of our growing environmental-toxic tort practice is the ability to represent a large number of people harmed either physically or by damage to their property. Toxic Torts litigation poses unique legal challenges because of the complex scientific and technical issues frequently addressed, and because of the overlapping authority of numerous administrative agencies and courts at the local, state, and federal levels.
