An industrial facility is defending itself from multiple lawsuits in which the plaintiffs allege dioxin emissions from the facility have contributed to the development of cancers. Multiple active plaintiffs and lawsuits are associated with this facility.

Verdantas’ (as TIG Environmental) scientists conducted a detailed forensic investigation of dioxins in environmental samples and compared the dioxin profiles to likely dioxin sources. The results of the investigation indicate that emissions from the client’s facility have no discernable contribution to the dioxins measured in the vicinity of the facility and identify other sources and likely contributors. Our team prepared export reports, trial exhibits, and testimony to support the litigation, all which helped the client negotiate favorable settlements with some plaintiffs and mount a vigorous defense in court cases associated with other plaintiffs.
