When environmental and health and safety issues are the focus of a litigation matter, analyzing the technical and scientific issues associated with a case can often be a complicated process. Most attorneys do not possess the technical or scientific training to analyze these issues. Therefore, the assistance of a knowledgable expert that possesses the required technical and scientific experience and credentials is critically important in successfully representing a client.
GZA’s team of geologists, chemists, engineers, biologists, toxicologists, and safety professionals has provided clients with litigation analysis in the following types of cases:
- Toxic Tort
- Environmental Damages
- Wrongful death
- Workplace injury and workers compensation
In fact, GZA’s Litigation Support Group has assisted attorneys in over 250 environmental-related cases. GZA’s experts are routinely called upon by major law firms throughout the U.S. to identify and provide a review of the scientific, regulatory and technical issues associated with a case, including a current review of the applicable scientific literature. In addition, GZA has provided numerous expert opinions to attorneys regarding dose reconstruction in toxic tort cases. Mold and asbestos-related litigation has increased exponentially in the past several years, and GZA has a nationally recognized litigation support team that provides assistance to attorneys for such matters.
