Community toxic exposure cases

Community toxic exposure cases video

As an environmental litigation firm, we only handle toxic torts. As we are well aware of how the presence of a dangerous agent can wreak havoc on the health of people living in close proximity to the source of contamination.

Whether the community has been exposed to dioxins, heavy metals, dangerous herbicides, or coke oven emissions, our law firm will be able to recover substantial financial compensation for each member, money that will help with their medical expenses if they developed a disease as a consequence of toxic exposure.

Our law firm has over 25 years of experience in this area of practice, so we take pride in our past achievements, as well as in our ability to pursue compensation for people in the most complex community cases.
