With our extensive and varied technical backgrounds, Bradley Murchison attorneys have defended clients in state and federal individual and mass joinder toxic tort actions brought by workers, former employees, contractors, neighboring communities, and third parties. From contamination claims arising from railroad derailments to asbestos litigation to oil field and gas pipeline cases, our attorneys have earned their reputation for creative and effective strategies which benefit our clients.
Toxic tort and chemical exposure matters often involve complex litigation that can continue for years. The ability to properly and quickly identify the key technical facts and legal issues in such litigation is of the utmost importance to the prompt and fair resolution of such suits. Our broad experience in this area, including personnel who are knowledgeable of the processes involved in the production of hazardous chemicals, provides our clients with a significant advantage in achieving those results. Our reputation in this area has been earned through the defense of major exposure cases brought by individual plaintiffs, class representatives, individual towns, parishes, and federal agencies.
Our expertise has earned recognition for several of our attorneys as Super Lawyers in Louisiana® in the area of class actions and in Best Lawyers® for mass torts defense.
