We are pursuing multiple claims against Occidental Chemical Company in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, in which we contend that Occidental has emitted and discharged mercury that has contaminated surrounding land, air, and water.
Occidental currently uses an outdated process that requires the use of mercury in the manufacture of chlorine. Mercury is a toxic chemical that can cause serious health problems and property damage.
We are seeking to have Occidental clean up the contamination it has caused and to compensate our clients to the extent that they or their property has been injured or damaged.
Protection of people and their property from large corporate polluters is our top priority. A unique feature of our growing environmental/toxic tort practice is the ability to represent a large number of people harmed either physically or by damage to their property.
Environmental litigation poses unique legal challenges because of the complex scientific and technical issues frequently addressed, and because of the overlapping authority of numerous administrative agencies and courts at the local, state, and federal levels.
We have worked hard to gain a nation-wide reputation in environmental litigation, often referred to as "toxic torts." These are difficult cases, but we are fighting to make a difference.
