Flink Smith has considerable experience in the defense of toxic tort cases, including lead paint and mold cases.  Our firm has tried to conclusion, and argued appeals in cases involving claims of lead paint exposure.  We handle cases throughout New York State, from the New York metropolitan area to Rochester and Buffalo.  

Our defense philosophy in these cases is consistent with that applied in other insurance defense matters.  We believe in the benefits of a well and wisely developed investigation; the thoughtful, early evaluation of the merits of the claim; and the formulation of an action plan designed to achieve the desired result through focused investigation, discovery and defense/settlement strategy.  When necessary, the law firm recommends and utilizes experts on the issues of liability, causation and damages.  We know the experts in this field, just as the others in the liability industry, and call upon top notch utilized industrial hygienists, neuropyschologists and neurologists  and other relevant experts in order to defend the interests of our clients and principals.

Our attorneys utilize their skills and experience to present the strongest defense possible.  Whether the case is to be tried or resolved in some alternate dispute forum or negotiated to a settlement, the attorneys in this practice group are skilled and knowledgeable.  We have the wherewithal to take the case from pre-suit analysis and investigation, through trial and appeal.
