represents clients in all areas of toxic tort and other product
liability litigation. We have successfully resolved challenging toxic
exposure allegations on behalf of many self- and non-insured clients. We

such as cutting oils, paints, fuels, solvents, benzene, vinyl chloride
and others.
Our attorneys handle
complex civil litigation involving catastrophic injury, premises
liability, multi-party litigation and class action suits on behalf of
very large and high profile businesses. We have served as National
Coordinating Counsel and coverage counsel for several companies named in
over 25,000 asbestos personal injury and wrongful death cases in
multiple jurisdictions and have defended numerous major claims arising
from brain damage, cancers and other profound injuries.
We also have a rare sub-specialty involving litigation of high
stakes toxic tort and environmental insurance issues in bankruptcy
courts nationwide.
We also provide advice
regarding complex federal regulatory issues and handle administrative
litigation involving hazmat transportation, warranties, packaging,
labeling and product recalls and have handled multi-million dollar
chemical contamination related-environmental property damage and
equipment contamination claims.
Outside of the courts,
Stevens & Lee assist clients in the development of policies and
procedures to coordinate and facilitate national handling of product
liability issues and claims and to assess their self-insurance programs
or other insurance coverage to minimize the potential for litigation.
Our experience and relationships with environmental
consultants and testifying experts allows us to bring in a complete and
integrated range of services to clients.
