Environmental Mass Tort
Over the decades, corporate greed has resulted in the widespread dumping of pollutants in the State of California. In particular, various oil and chemical companies in California have killed and sickened innocent residents in order to earn corporate profits. Entire home subdivisions have been built over former oil production and storage fields with little or no environmental remediation. The result is toxic neighborhoods with increased rates of cancer and serious illnesses. This damage is not limited solely to California. There are contaminated homes and properties across the United States. With this type of widespread contamination, many individuals and families are severely harmed. For this reason, these cases often become complex mass tort cases, involving a large number of plaintiffs. If you live on contaminated property, you need a California mass tort attorney with experience handling these types of cases.
