Personal injury lawsuits are divided into different categories to distinguish between different injuries and accidents. One type of personal injury lawsuit is called a toxic tort claim. A toxic tort suit is a personal injury lawsuit involving some form of toxin which caused serious injury or death to victims.

Toxic tort lawsuits can vary widely as the route of toxic exposure in each case is very different. The most common types of toxic tort lawsuits involve:
- Pharmaceuticals: Drugs can be extremely toxic to the human body. Sometimes the effects of drugs that are on the market are not fully discovered for years.
- Consumer products: Dangerous products may be ingested or release toxins through the skin.
- Exposure at work: Without the proper safety equipment and training, workers in a variety of fields may be exposed to dangerous toxins. Additionally, entire communities may be placed in harm’s way if a company does not store or dispose of toxins correctly.
Toxic tort lawsuits can help to keep both consumer products and the workplace free from deadly toxins.
