Practice Area: Asbestos and Product Liability Litigation

Product Liability and Toxic Tort

As the law and technology are ever changing, product liability and toxic tort defense remains one of the most challenging and complex areas of litigation. Our firm has met those challenges with its experienced team of product liability and toxic tort lawyers.

The lawyers at Jackson & Wallace LLP have represented clients in many sectors of commerce. Major areas of our product liability experience involve members of the automotive industry, manufacturers of industrial machinery, medical device manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies.

A thorough understanding of the technical and scientific theories upon which many of these products liability cases are based allows Jackson & Wallace LLP attorneys to develop the most cost effective defense. Our trial attorneys aggressively litigate cases in both federal and state courts.

The firm also has substantial experience before state and federal courts in actions regarding toxic tort claims. Members of the firm have handled cases involving exposure from machining beryllium products, inhaling benzene, exposures to toxic mists from solvents, cases in the latex litigation, and ground water contamination cases. Our lawyers have specialties in toxic tort claims made pursuant to NEPA and CERCLA. Notably in one case Mark Sayre argued and won a motion to dismiss in U.S. District Court for the Central District on behalf of a publicly traded company in a CERCLA indemnity action which saved that company potentially $35 million in claimed damages under intellectual property and unfair competition claims.
