SARA investigates claims that exposure to chemicals, drugs or pollutants, consumption of herbals or dietary products or supplements, or any possible interactions were responsible for adverse health effects. We provide expert opinions and testimony in support of litigation, and review environmental and scientific reports to obtain information and/or verify accuracy. Our expertise in clinical, animal and laboratory toxicology, pharmacology, and biochemistry greatly facilitates the integration of case-specific information with current scientific knowledge to form scientifically sound, defensible opinions. We do not specialize in working for either defense or plaintiffs, but instead simply aim to discover the truth—an approach that best serves the public good. |

Working with attorneys and insurance claims adjusters, we can determine whether claims are reasonable and whether injury claims are likely to have resulted from specific, reported agents or events.
