Environmental  Hazard Litigation
 

In general, negative health effects caused by exposure to toxic substances and environmental pollutants have increased immeasurably over the last fifty years. 

Individuals and small businesses can suffer injuries, both to their person and to their property or financial interests, as a result of chemical exposure or environmental pollution. Many toxic substances, such as lead-based paint, asbestos, pesticides, and even toxic mold have been shown to cause serious health problems and birth defects. Industrial workers and children are at particular risk. Also, pollution, by both water and air, can cause property damage and loss of business income.

Environmental Toxic Hazards - Alabama Litigation

Heninger Garrison Davis maintains a strong commitment to victims of environmental and toxic torts.  The firm has taken on cases involving exposure to workplace toxic exposure, toxic mold, air pollution, water pollution, and chemicals on property. We consult the most-respected scientists and physicians in pursuing these cases, and we hold accountable those who carelessly subject our fellow citizens and communities to dangerous exposure to toxic substances and environmental pollution.

Environmental Hazards Case Study

In one such case, after one and one-half years of negotiations and environmental engineering studies, our attorneys resolved claims on behalf of an Alabama community against a commercial developer. The matter arose due to pollution of a lake within the community during the course of construction of a nearby shopping center. Due to the confidentiality terms of the settlement, the identities of the parties may not be disclosed. Our firm was honored to represent the community and achieve a result that was both favorable to the homeowners and "environmentally friendly." The terms of the settlement provide for the dredging of the lake, restocking the lake with fish, a cash payment to the homeowners, and payment of attorneys' fees.
