Toxic Torts / Environmental Law

The Law Firm of Ted B. Lyon & Associates represents injured consumers, employees, and families in toxic tort and environmental litigation. Toxic torts often involve toxins such as:

• Heavy metals
• Benzene
• Petrochemicals
• Pharmaceuticals
• Silicone
• Pesticides
• Asbestos
• Formaldehyde
• PCBs
• Groundwater contamination

Because of the unique nature of many toxic tort claims, the attempt to prove causation can be difficult, even if the injured plaintiff is suffering from a serious illness. It is often difficult to identify the substance that caused the plaintiff's injury, and even assuming that the toxin can be identified, it is difficult to prove that a given hazardous substance caused a plaintiff's injuries. Our lawyers have the ability and experience to handle complex toxic tort and environmental litigation, and have an impressive track record of success in state and federal courts throughout Texas.
