Environmental and Toxic Torts

Gholson Burson Entrekin & Orr, P.A. provides defense representation for companies facing toxic tort claims throughout South Mississippi.  Our attorneys have handled a diverse range of cases in this practice area, including serving as trial counsel for DuPont in cases involving alleged injuries caused by chemical exposure.  GBEO lawyers have also represented numerous defendants in litigation involving claims of injuries incurred from asbestos exposure.

Success in toxic tort litigation requires an in-depth and ongoing fact investigation.  At GBEO, we understand that the outcome of an environmental case can hinge on seemingly minor details, and stress the importance of the investigation phase to ensure we account for all relevant evidence and information.  We draw on a network of experts to provide in-depth research and analysis, supplementing our legal expertise with their knowledge of the technical aspects that frequently come into play in these cases.  This preparation-intensive approach puts our clients at an advantage whether they expect to negotiate a settlement, or plan to see the case through to trial. 

Plaintiffs choose to bring cases in Southern Mississippi because juries in this region are historically sympathetic to plaintiffs.  Over many years of defending clients in lawsuits in Hattiesburg, Meridian, and throughout the state, GBEO attorneys have developed numerous effective tactics that can even the playing field and help local jurors understand the legal and factual issues that can prove deciding factors in these types of cases.
