Mass & Toxic Torts
Mass torts including toxic torts, are complex cases that may involve “bet the company” risks, various parties, numerous jurisdictions and events occurring over years. The experience of Phillips Murrah’s attorneys on major cases and complex mass tort issues provides us the necessary insight to develop strategies tailored to the many variables involved in such matters.
