Our Experience
We have worked on some of the biggest environmental cases – often known as toxic torts – in the country. Toxic torts usually involve a party negligently polluting soil and surface water, which contaminates ground water, introduces dangerous chemicals to aquifers and wells, and exposes the community to substances that cause harm to their health, property, and community.
From pesticides to industrial waste, chemicals that may cause harm to humans and the environment are the subject of regulatory controls to prevent injury through exposure. When controls break down, or historically poor treatment methods give way, toxic contamination of groundwater can occur. Learn more about our leadership in the fight against groundwater contamination.
In addition to active investigations nationwide into groundwater contamination, we are actively investigating legal claims related to AFFF (also known as firefighting foam). This may include governmental municipalities that face costs to remediate the pollution, as well as people who have been exposed to these firefighting foams and have since been diagnosed with kidney, testicular, pancreatic, or other types of cancer.
