TCAS has assessed hundreds of different types of toxic substances and exposure effects.[a]

TCAS provides professional, comprehensive forensic and environmental exposure analysis, risk assessments and causation determinations. With more than 34 years of hands-on experience, our cases cover a vast range of toxic exposure-related issues combining toxicological assessments, guidance, interpretation of laboratory results, opinions and expert consults.

TCAS is regularly retained for toxicological risk assessments, causation assessments, written reports, affidavits and expert testimony. We have assessed hundreds of different types of toxic substances and exposure effects on behalf of plaintiffs, defendants, attorneys, prosecutors, public defenders, State attorney generals and the U.S. Department of Justice. Dr. Sawyer performs the initial research and testing as well as exposure and dose calculations necessary to assess potential or alleged toxic exposures under a variety of conditions and circumstances. These include residential exposures, industrial contamination, criminal homicide and alcohol intoxications, accidental poisonings, general and specific chemical causation, medical malpractice involving pharmaceuticals and others.
