ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEYS WITH MULTINATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Major corporations often disregard environmental regulations in the pursuit of profit. These laws are in place for a reason. Ignoring these regulations can result in severe environmental damage, injury, and death, through either onsite accidents or environmental contamination.

The environmental attorneys at our law firm understand the nuanced effects of environmental litigation. We have dedicated our careers to holding irresponsible corporations accountable for their negligence. Most notably, we are representing the victims of the 2010 BP oil spill. When the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sunk, it killed 11 workers and caused massive amounts of damage to nearby communities. We are working to get justice for these families.

HOW DO ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS AFFECT EVERYDAY PEOPLE?

One corporation’s act of negligence significantly lowers the income of those who work in environmentally dependent industries. Many of the implicated workers are the only source of income for their families. Consequently, their overall wellbeing and that of the community suffers for years after the accident.

For example, the BP oil spill is still fresh in the minds of many Gulf Coast residents. Since the spill, the oyster industry has withered. Loose oil kills the reefs that form the backbone of the Gulf Coast ecosystem and provide a habitat for sea creatures. Fishermen have been returning to shore with empty nets.

Coastal communities are struggling and still waiting on compensation that was promised but is yet to materialize. When corporations ignore the rules and cause harm, they might offer little or no compensation for the people they harmed. It is up to the victims to stand up to these companies to receive fair treatment. Our firm has several decades of experience taking on multinational conglomerates that harm everyday people.

COMPENSATION FOR VICTIMS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS

If your life has been dramatically affected by an environmental disaster caused by a major corporation’s negligence, you have the right to be repaid for your suffering.

You may be surprised at some of the various economic and non-economic damages that you have the right to recover in your case. Some of the more common types of damages that are awarded in environmental lawsuits include:

  • Emotional distress
  • Lost quality of life
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Damage to your reputation
  • Inconvenience
  • Lost wages
  • Diminished earning potential
  • Skin scarring
  • Disfigurement
  • Medical expenses
  • Medical equipment
  • Property damages
  • Loss of household services


It is also possible that the court may award you punitive damages. These are often awarded in cases where the liable party is found to have engaged in gross negligence or reprehensible conduct. Punitive damages are the court system’s way of punishing the outfall party for these types of actions.

These are just a few examples of the different kinds of damages that you may be able to recover in your environmental lawsuit. You can find out exactly what your claim is worse when you contact our office to discuss your case further.
