Toxic Hazards
Ever so slowly, toxic chemical pollution ruins our water and air
Janet, Jenner & Suggs uses its legal and medical expertise to represent clients harmed by exposure to toxic materials, like poison gases and fumes. In the process, we force polluters to take action to clean up the environment.
Toxic materials are often linked to illness and disease
Among our cases are for current and past residents in Dayton, OH with the Dayton Behr Toxic Plume; New Jersey in Natural Resource Damage; and home owners in Yerrington, NV whose wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances. Residents, like others exposed to toxic pollution, can suffer extreme economic loss and health consequences such as these:
- Lung cancer
- Leukemia
- Brain damage
- Birth defects
Janet, Jenner & Suggs has experienced toxic tort litigation attorneys
A lead attorney in our toxic tort division is Steve German, who worked with the U.S. Department of Justice, Environmental Enforcement Section and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, New Jersey Superfund Branch. In private practice, his trial and appellate victories resulted in one of the nation’s largest environmental cleanups including the excavation and removal of one million tons of chromium waste from Jersey City, N.J., and the cleanup of chromium-contaminated groundwater and sediments in the Hackensack River.
Plaintiffs in toxic tort cases do not need to prove their cases beyond reasonable doubt. They instead need to prove only that their claims are more likely to be true than not. Our attorneys can review your case and help you file a legitimate claim.
