Casey
Gilson has defended over two hundred lawsuits filed by individuals
alleging injuries from exposure to various toxic chemicals. We
have prepared numerous toxic tort cases for trial and have obtained
defense verdicts in the cases we have tried. One defense verdict
was in a case of brain damage allegedly caused by exposure to
solvents. Another defense verdict was in a case of RADS (Reactive
Airways Dysfunction Syndrome) allegedly caused by exposure to
chlorine. Our experience defending toxic tort claims includes
Daubert motions and hearings, state court motions and hearings
pertaining to the admissibility of scientific evidence, and handling
numerous expert witnesses (including neurologists, neuropsychologists,
psychiatrists, psychologists, toxicologists, radiologists,
neurotoxicologists, nephrologists, entomologists, and occupational
medicine physicians).
We
have handled claims of solvent induced toxic encephalopathy, reactive
airways dysfunction syndrome, chemical pneumonia, chemical bronchitis,
asbestosis, multiple chemical sensitivity disorder, and various cancer
claims. Some of the chemicals involved in our cases have been
trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, 1,1,1, trichloroethane, mineral
spirits, diesel fuel/diesel exhaust, asbestos, anhydrous ammonia,
chlorine, cadmium, toluene, benzene, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and
polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The firm also successfully handled a
case involving the loss of both kidneys from a disease known as
Goodpasture's Syndrome, allegedly caused by exposure to toxic
substances.
