Environmental Litigation

When corporations pollute our air, soil, groundwater, and waterways, innocent people suffer. Indiscriminate pollution not only poses a health and safety risk for unwary citizens, it often causes property values to plummet. Litigation over environmental torts can be complex and expensive. It cannot be undertaken without the resources and expertise of not only attorneys, but environmental testing experts, economists, valuation experts, and land experts. If your family or property has been subjected to an environmental hazard, contact our attorneys for a case evaluation and consultation.

Environmental litigation involves complex and unique technical and legal challenges. Our Environmental litigation attorneys have the legal understanding for handling complex environmental matters, as well as the technical knowledge required to deal with the challenges and difficulties presented by environmental litigation.

Corporate liability for contamination is often an important issue in environmental litigation. Finding liability often requires navigation through a maze of historical land ownership, divestments, corporate succession, assignments and mergers in order to identify the responsible entities. Also, identifying sources of contamination is key to successfully prosecuting environmental litigation. Our Environmental litigation attorneys have expansive experience in linking corporate ownership and liabilities to the responsible party.
