Environmental Damage Lawsuits

Environmental catastrophes and toxic spills can cause long-term health consequences and major economic disruptions.

Clean air, clean water, and rich soil are all critical to sustain life and health.

Accidents that cause major harm to the environment can have long term consequences for both people and animals in the affected areas. Environmental disasters ranging from nuclear meltdowns to oil spills can disrupt the lives of millions of people at the same time, causing serious health problems and costly economic damage.

Leaders in environmental lawsuits.

Toxic substances like lead paint, asbestos, or improperly purified water can also have serious health consequences in populations that may not even know they are at risk.

When a man-made environmental disaster or toxic substance exposure occurs, class action litigation can provide effective recourse for businesses and people. Individuals and businesses acting as plaintiffs in such cases may gain compensation for property damage, income disruption caused by evacuation, medical expenses, and other damages.
