Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of this casebook provides an integrated approach to private and public law responses to toxic insults to individuals and to the environment. The book explores: the ability of various legal theories to resolve toxic tort cases, the use of various branches of science to address the question of causation, the unique features of toxic tort remedies in the workplace, the role of public law, both in controlling risk and its interaction with private law, special damage issues that arise in toxic cases such as the right to medical monitoring, the insurance issues that arise in toxic tort cases, and the complex legal environment (bankruptcy, multidistrict litigation, class actions) in which toxic tort cases are often litigated. The casebook stands alone as an upper-level introduction to the ever-expanding role of toxic tort and environmental law regulation and litigation.

Download or read book Toxic Torts written by Carl F. Cranor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US tort law, cloaked behind increased judicial review of science, is changing before our eyes yet we cannot see it. While Supreme Court decisions have altered how courts review scientific testimony, the complexity of both science and legal procedures mask the resulting social consequences. Yet these consequences are too important to remain hidden. Mistaken court reviews of scientific evidence can decrease citizen access to the law, decrease incentives for firms to test their products, lower deterrence for harmful products, and decrease the possibility of justice for citizens injured by toxic substances. Even if courts review evidence well, increases in litigation costs and attorney screening of clients can impede access to the law. Newly revised and expanded, Toxic Torts, 2nd edition introduces these issues, reveals the relationships that can deny citizens just restitution for harms suffered, and shows how justice can be improved in toxic tort cases.
