Toxicology Expert Witnesses

Toxicology is a specialty that studies the effects of chemicals and other substances on living organisms, including humans. A toxicology expert witness can provide critical testimony in cases involving exposure to hazardous substances, including drugs, chemicals, and environmental toxins. They can assist in determining the cause of illness or injury, as well as assessing the extent of the damage. Related specialties include pharmacology, environmental health, and forensic science.

  • Personal injury cases involving toxic exposure or chemical burns.
  • Product liability cases involving the release of toxic chemicals or substances into the environment
