Strong Defense Against Environmental Liability Claims
Environmental cases can come in various types, but a good example is a recent case we handled involving underground storage tanks. In a liability case involving multiple gasoline stations on one corner that all had leaking gas tanks underground, the question came down not to which one was the polluter, but which one had polluted the area more and who was responsible for the leaks. Defense for each business owner involved close scrutiny of such factors as uphill versus downhill flow, product liability issues, installation issues, issues of indemnification, and other complex technical issues.
Expert Witnesses are Key
In mounting a strong environmental liability defense, expert witnesses are crucial. Precise analysis of alleged environmental law violations and aggressive defense go hand in hand.

Your business or your insured may face allegations of harm caused by pollutants such as toxic mold or lead paint. A knowledgeable defense begins with knowledge of the facts of the case as well as the relevant laws.
Knowledge of State Statutes and Local Laws and Regulations is Also Key
Environmental liability defense is a complex area of the law that often presents complications involving nuances in state statutes as well as local laws and regulations. An environmental liability defense law firm must be committed to staying up to date with environmental laws.
