Environmental & Toxic Tort Litigation

Experienced Defense in Asbestos, Lead, Mold, and Chemical Exposure Claims

Morris Duffy Alonso Faley & Pitcoff provides aggressive, informed defense in complex environmental and toxic tort litigation throughout New York. We represent a broad spectrum of clients, ranging from manufacturers and contractors to property owners and employers, facing claims involving exposure to hazardous substances and environmental contaminants.

Our attorneys have decades of experience defending high-exposure toxic tort claims involving:

  • Asbestos
  • Lead-based paint
  • Mold and water intrusion
  • Silica and solvents
  • Benzene and diesel exhaust
  • Other chemical and occupational exposures

Asbestos Litigation Defense

Asbestos exposure remains a leading source of toxic tort claims. With fewer viable defendants remaining in this space, plaintiffs’ firms continue to pursue creative legal theories to expand liability. MDAFP defends product manufacturers, suppliers, installers, premises owners, and other parties across the supply chain. We are trial-ready and have successfully defended asbestos claims through verdict and appeal.

Lead Paint Poisoning Defense

Our firm has significant experience defending landlords, property owners, management companies, and contractors in claims arising from childhood lead exposure and occupational lead contact. These cases often involve allegations of permanent neurological and cognitive damage, with complex causation and liability issues.

We defend:

  • Property owners and managers
  • Housing authorities and municipalities
  • Employers and contractors facing worksite exposure claims

Other Toxic Exposure Defense

MDAFP also handles a wide range of toxic tort matters involving:

  • Mold-related respiratory claims
  • Diesel exhaust and chemical solvent exposure
  • Benzene-related leukemia and cancer allegations
  • Silica exposure and occupational disease claims

We understand the scientific, medical, and regulatory nuances that shape toxic tort litigation and work closely with experts to develop strong, evidence-based defenses.
