Asbestos, Occupational Exposure and Toxic Tort Litigation

Kean Miller represents clients in the defense of toxic tort claims, including asbestos exposure claims for mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis and other cancers, benzene exposure claims, other occupational exposure claims, and talc/talcum powder claims. We have unique experience in the energy, petrochemical, and manufacturing sectors in Louisiana and Texas, including in-depth knowledge of facility and product histories. We regularly defend claims for short-term and long-term exposure to alleged hazardous substances, industrial accidents involving alleged hazardous or toxic substances, and products liability litigation involving the sale and use of alleged hazardous or toxic substances, products, and equipment. We have defended some of the largest companies in the world in asbestos, silica, benzene, and drilling mud claims, both land-based and offshore, in numerous state and federal jurisdictions.

We serve as National Coordinating Counsel to some of our clients, managing large dockets of cases around the nation, and in high-risk jurisdictions such as California, New York, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Louisiana, including Civil District Court in New Orleans and Madison County, Illinois. Our team employs state-of-the art technologies for organizing, managing, tracking, and litigating complex asbestos exposure cases. We are experienced in the courtroom, trying cases to juries regularly.
