Holding Polluters and the Powerful Accountable
Toxic Exposure Cases Take Many Forms
When their negligence makes your environment unsafe, we hold them responsible for the consequences.
Air Pollution & Emissions
You have a right to clean air. When industrial operations, wildfires, and other accidents release pollutants into the air, even people outside of the community are at risk for health complications. We hold negligent companies and governments responsible for their actions so that you receive the resources you need to recover.
Lead Poisoning
Everyone deserves a safe place to live, work and play. When landlords, manufacturers and governments don’t properly maintain their properties or handle and dispose of lead-based materials, they can contaminate your community. A lead exposure claim helps to ensure your community is safer for everyone.
Radiation Exposure
While rare, radiation poisoning due to workplace exposure or nuclear accidents can have severe and life-long consequences. If you lived or worked in an area impacted by nuclear testing, if you’re a veteran who participated in nuclear testing, or if you’ve been impacted by a nuclear accident, you could have a radiation exposure claim.
