Q: My mother died of matastitic ovarian cancer in 1996 talcumpowder, can I bring a case under toxic tort law
A: You may be able to file a claim. There is currently litigation pending against the manufacturers of talcum powder, particularly Johnson and Johnson. You should immediately contact an attorney in your area to discuss your mother's death in more detail to determine if there is a viable claim.
A:
This will be difficult due to the significant age of the case , but you need to look for an attorney who has a class action case. However even those may have a cut off date. 24 years may be too long. It would also be difficult to show that the cause was talcum powder and not another cause.
