Pest control has long been a mainstay of ASW's practice areas.  Our attorneys handle the most complex of pest control related matters.  We speak at regional, state and national pest management related conferences.  ASW has litigated cases to successful conclusion as well as arbitrated cases. we have great familiarity in dealing with clients who are licensed pest control operators.

ASW is also familiar with the regulators in Florida and has utilized the most reputable experts around the nation.  Our cases involving toxic exposure are usually determined on the scientific and medical evidence presented, involving complicated issues in the areas of:

• Asthma
• Serious skin diseases
• Cancer from exposure to toxic materials (such as asbestos)
• Brain or other nerve damage from exposure to dangerous chemicals such as insecticides, solvents and certain gases
• Medical toxicology
• Epidemiology
• Immunology
• Chemistry
• Physics

In toxic exposure litigation, we aggressively challenge claimants to prove that a toxic substance caused a real injury. A toxic exposure claimant must show that the injured person was exposed to a sufficient concentration of the toxic substance for a sufficient period of time, causing the body to receive a large enough dose to cause injury.  Our attorneys have experience in defending these claims and evaluating those that need to be tried.
