The courts and the supporting legal system have a major impact
on the development of environmental policy. Thus, a part of TERA's
mission is to provide
education to the legal system through litigation support to
ensure that toxicity data and risk assessment methods are being
used and interpreted correctly in the courts. Some of our recent
litigation support includes:
- Review of toxicity data on pesticides as to whether
exposure to pesticides was the proximate cause of health
effects for Plaintiff in a personal injury case;
Testimony as expert witness on U.S. EPA's chromium risk
assessment for Defendant in groundwater contamination
case;
Preparation of written opinion on the quality of multiple
risk assessment documents and explanation of EPA risk
assessment methods development for Plaintiff in
environmental insurance case;
Review environmental monitoring data and toxicity data
for multiple chemicals; preparation of risk assessment to
support Citizens' Suit under RCRA.
TERA can provide a variety of litigation support
services from review and analysis of data, to written opinions,
to expert witness testimony. For more information on litigation
support, complete our feedback form or send an email message to Joan
Strawson, Senior Advisor in Risk and Outreach.
