For many years, Virginia has been fertile ground for toxic tort litigation, including cases involving asbestosis, silicosis, lead paint, mold, and Chinese drywall.  For over 40 years, McKenry Dancigers Dawson has specialized in defending local governments, businesses, and individuals in toxic tort cases.

Product manufacturers and suppliers have historically been the targets of such claims, but with each passing year, and the increasing number of bankruptcies, the scope of such suits have broadened to include landlords, property owners, contractors, subcontractors, and employers.

Defendants, whether self-insured or through their insurance carriers, can develop strategies to deal with such suits and associated defense costs.   McKenry Dancigers Dawson can assist clients in developing and implementing strategies to deal with toxic tort suits in a cost effective manner, and yet still mount an effective and target specific defense. Our experience in these areas also allows us to work efficiently and proactively to resolve meritorious cases in a cost-effective manner consistent with the client’s goals.

We have the knowledge, experience, and facilities to effectively represent parties in mass toxic tort matters, as well as specific matters that may occasionally arise from a release of a hazardous or toxic substance.
