Tort law seeks to compensate a person who has been harmed by the wrongful conduct of another and also hopes to deter similar injuries. Tort law considers a person s decision to take a particular action and the risk involved when determining liability.

Additionally, physicians who treat patients for sleep disorders have an obligation to warn their patients of the risks of the sleep condition and any treatment rendered. Failure to inform then-patient of the risks could lead to injuries to others, for which the physician might be liable.

Defendants in toxic tort litigation can and do assert a host of defenses in order to avoid liability. Some of these defenses substantively negate a specific cause of action, some limit claims against particular defendants, some arise in the law of procedure, some derive from the plaintiff s culpable conduct, and some arise because public law obligations can preempt the operation of common law. This chapter will conclude with brief descriptions of some of the important defenses that have been asserted in toxic tort cases.
