Toxic Torts & Property Value Diminution

Toxic torts involve personal injury or property damage stemming from a toxin or hazardous substance.  Toxic tort cases are complex and often controversial, requiring the expert analysis, opinion and testimony from many scientific, forensic, environmental and litigation specialists.  Our expert staff includes environmental chemists, geologists, hydro-geologists, toxicologists, engineers and economists, each with substantial testifying experience.

Collectively, Cardno ENTRIX has broad experience serving as consulting and testifying experts on many leading cases throughout the country and the world involving highly complex environmental issues, including property damage, clean-up costs associated with natural resources damages (NRD), and impacts to public health.  Our litigation consulting experts are all top practitioners in their respective fields and average more than 25 years of professional experience.  They are assisted by an expansive team of scientists, economists, researchers, writers, along with GIS and geospatial experts who possess significant field experience and knowledge regarding the underlying technical, regulatory, and business issues and their potential impact on the outcome of litigation.
