Toxic Tort & Environmental Law

Morris & Morris has a long history of handling a range of significant toxic tort and environmental law cases.  The firm’s experience includes defense of personal injury claims arising from claimed exposure to asbestos, silica, toxic chemicals, pesticides, and mold.  These cases include both product liability and premises liability litigation.  Many of these cases have involved the defense of catastrophic personal injury claims such as third degree chemical burns and paralysis.  The firm has also handled property damage claims related to mold contamination. 

Morris & Morris has also handled hundreds of individual asbestos claims as local counsel for national manufacturers.  Many of these claims were filed in Newport News Circuit Court, which because of its proximity to Virginia’s maritime and shipping industries, is the state hot bed for asbestos and silica-related lawsuits.  Morris & Morris regularly appears in Newport News Circuit Court and is experienced in its unique procedures for handling mass toxic tort litigation.
