Where science meets law
and cases are won.
Toxic-tort cases are won on causation. Environmental Litigation Group pairs in-house exposure science — dispersion modeling, epidemiology, and geospatial exposure reconstruction — with four decades of complex-litigation execution, turning difficult science into recoveries. Over $3 billion to date.

Scientific Expertise
The science is the case.
Causation is where toxic-tort claims live or die. ELG develops it in-house, with the modeling, epidemiology, and exposure science required to establish both general and specific causation — and to withstand Daubert.
Air dispersion modeling
Regulatory-grade AERMOD modeling to reconstruct community and occupational exposure from industrial emissions, supported by attorneys with decades of air-pollution-control engineering experience.
Exposure reconstruction & geospatial analysis
Client populations mapped against EPA TRI, NEI, ECHO, AirToxScreen, and ATSDR data to establish proximity, pathway, and dose with defensible precision at scale.
Epidemiology & causation
Occupational and environmental cohort analysis connecting specific contaminants to specific disease — distinguishing, for example, bladder-cancer-specific evidence from broader urinary-tract framing.
Toxicology, industrial hygiene & expert development
Dose-response and mechanism analysis, paired with in-house scientific credentials and a bench of retained experts prepared to testify and survive challenge.
Legal Practice & Execution
Theories built to survive Daubert — and trial.
Science only matters if it is executed. ELG translates causation into recoverable claims across every procedural posture in modern toxic- and mass-tort litigation.
MDL & aggregate litigation
Representation of public water systems in the AFFF/PFAS MDL (No. 2873) and other coordinated proceedings, with the infrastructure to manage tens of thousands of claimants.
Multi-defendant & sole-source liability
Apportionment and sole-source causation theories built from emissions data, modeling, and discovery across complex defendant groups.
Discovery & document analysis at scale
Structured review of regulatory, stack-test, and corporate records — building the factual record that settles cases before trial and wins them at it.
Track Record
Recoveries, by contaminant.
Aggregate gross recoveries across four decades of toxic- and mass-tort litigation involving more than a dozen industrial contaminants.
$3 Billion+
recovered for clients nationwide
$1 Billion+
in judgments and verdicts secured in asbestos, dioxin, and PCB cases
Asbestos
$2.4 Billion
PFAS / Water Contamination
$397.3 Million
Dioxins
$176.6 Million
PCBs
$114.0 Million
Creosote
$80.0 Million
Pentachlorophenol (PCP)
$62.6 Million
Pesticides
$43.0 Million
Benzene
$33.3 Million
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
$21.3 Million
Coke-Oven Emissions
$17.8 Million
Lead & Arsenic
$11.0 Million
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is decided on its own facts and applicable law. Figures reflect aggregate gross recoveries in matters involving each contaminant; a single matter may involve more than one contaminant.
Current Docket
An active pipeline — and a serious adversary.
For 6,000+ injured clients across arsenic, asbestos, benzene, coke-oven emissions, creosote, dioxins, ethylene oxide, lead, PCBs, pentachlorophenol, pesticides, PFAS, PAHs, trichloroethylene (TCE) and more, the firm has issued resolution demands totaling over $5 billion for cases in ongoing litigation.

Resolution demands are amounts sought from potential defendants. They are pending and unresolved, are not recoveries, and do not guarantee any result.
Co-Counsel & Referrals
A strong partner firm that other firms lean on when the matter is complex.
ELG associates with referring and co-counsel firms nationwide, bringing the science, the infrastructure, and the legal experience to develop complex toxic-exposure dockets from intake through resolution.
Case development & capacity
Full workup — liability, causation, expert development, and claims processing — with the staff and systems to handle mass-claimant inventories.
Proprietary screening analytics
Site- and exposure-screening models that identify viable claims and defensible defendant groups before resources are committed.
