EXPERT WITNESS - EXPOSURE

Potential damages from chemical exposure depend not only on the inherent toxicity of a chemical, but also the level and duration of exposure. Thus in many chemical damage cases, an exposure expert is needed as a witness to quantify the degree to which the claimed exposures could be a real risk. TSG experts can provide the kinds of services necessary to put chemical exposure into perspective. Our services include:

  • Assessing the toxicological properties of the chemical and defining its inherent hazard.
  • Estimating the potential exposure of the plaintiff to the compound and assessing the probability that level of exposure could result in harm.
  • Comparing this risk with other risks we face in our everyday lives to provide perspective to the judge and jury of the relative significance of the chemical risk.
  • Providing expert reports
  • Depositions
  • Testifing at trial

TSG exposure experts routinely undertake exposure assessments for a variety of purposes. They are thus very familiar with the models for estimating exposure and how to use them correctly. This provides the input into the expert witness report and subsequent deposition and trial work.
