Description

Toxic Tort Litigation 2nd Edition Christine Gregorski Rolph ISBN 9781627221276

Trying a toxic tort case differs markedly from other forms of high-stakes litigation. These matters are inherently complex, often involving numerous plaintiffs and defendants, parallel actions across multiple jurisdictions, and significant challenges in identifying the source of the alleged harm. Success in toxic tort litigation depends on sophisticated case management, innovative procedural approaches, and a deep reliance on scientific and medical evidence to establish—or refute—causation.

Now fully updated and revised, the second edition of Toxic Tort Litigation is a practice-oriented guide that examines the distinctive features and challenges that define this specialized area of law.

Part I explores the theories of liability and damages unique to toxic tort cases, along with the key procedural and substantive defenses available to litigants. It also addresses critical issues related to scientific and medical proof, including causation analysis and the use of expert testimony in the context of Daubert and Frye challenges. Additional chapters focus on case strategy, trial management, settlement considerations, and emerging issues in toxic tort practice.

Part II introduces valuable new chapters devoted to causation standards across the United States, analyzing the varying legal approaches adopted in each state and grouping them by four regional frameworks. Together, these sections provide practitioners with a comprehensive and practical roadmap for navigating toxic tort litigation at every stage.
