The Raphaelson & Levine Law Firm in New York City has a special toxic tort unit headed by Howard Raphaelson. This dedicated team works tenaciously to hold negligent corporations responsible for their actions and to help injured people obtain compensation and medical care.
Mr. Raphaelson personally handles the preparation and filing of lawsuits against large corporations in cases involving exposure to toxic chemicals, lead poisoning, dangerous medications, and other types of corporate negligence. This area of law can be the most demanding for lawyers to pursue, but without the checks and balances that trial lawyers and courts create by fighting for the rights of these injured people, large corporations would have far less incentive to research and safeguard products and substances.
If you would like to discuss your claim with an experienced toxic tort lawyer at our firm, please call 212-268-3222.
Investigative Resources and Advocacy Skills
Toxic tort and defective product cases often hinge on investigations made by engineers and technical specialists.

As a successful personal injury law firm, we have access to leading professionals in technical disciplines and the financial resources that can support their research.
When you choose our law firm, we will work tirelessly to help you obtain the medical care and compensation that can enable you to rebuild your life.
