Environmental Law, Asbestos, and Toxic Torts
Environmental law involves claims and cases
related to conditions and to the quality of the air, land and
water. An environmental law case could involve a landfill, a
leaking underground tank, toxic emissions, and mold in a private
residence or building. Toxic tort cases involve hazards
associated with conditions and products in the work place and elsewhere.
The attorneys of Vandeveer Garzia are proficient
in handling environmental law and toxic tort cases. We represent
clients who are involved in litigation. We can also step in when
litigation is threatened and work with clients on a consulting basis to
prevent problems.
Over the years our representation has involved:
- Landfills and Superfund cases
- Leaking underground storage tanks
- Asbestos claims and cases
- Claims involving silicosis, bronchitis and obstructive pulmonary disease
- Toxic or “black” mold cases
- Ground water contamination
- Adverse and allergic reactions to products and chemicals
- Insurance coverage litigation related to environmental claims
Environmental claims and toxic tort cases often
raise insurance coverage issues. In addition to representing
clients who are involved in actual litigation in connection with
insurance coverage arising out of these matters, we work with clients
in regular reviews of their policies to evaluate the sufficiency of
insurance coverage. We also advise clients concerning the
application and impact of insurance when litigation is
threatened. We regularly provide legal opinions on the viability
of insurance coverage related to environmental claims.
If you are concerned about an existing case or a
threatened claim in the areas of environmental law and toxic torts,
