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.
Some examples of cases where a toxicology expert witness may be needed:
Medical malpractice cases involving incorrect or inappropriate drug administration, such as a medication error or administering the wrong medication to a patient
Personal injury cases involving toxic exposure or chemical burns.
Product liability cases involving the release of toxic chemicals or substances into the environment
