Holding Polluters Accountable

When companies or public agencies fail to manage hazardous substances properly, they can release toxins into the air, water, or soil, often without immediate detection or warning. The pollutants may include heavy metals, industrial chemicals, oil, sewage, pesticides, or other hazardous materials that can remain in the environment for decades. Our environmental litigation team investigates the sources and consequences of such contamination, identifying the responsible parties and utilizing available evidence to prove liability.

Our firm has the experience and resources to take on large corporations and complex cases involving:

• Lead contamination of soil or water
• Groundwater or drinking water contamination
• Industrial spills or chemical releases
• Toxic waste site exposure
• Airborne pollutants from manufacturing or agricultural operations
• Oil and gas leaks impacting residential or agricultural land
• Contaminated soil near refineries, landfills, or public works

Claims for Property & Economic Loss

Environmental contamination cases often involve more than health concerns. In many situations, pollutants can render land unusable, diminish real estate value, or disrupt business operations. Property owners, farmers, and small business owners may face financial losses even without direct physical injury.

We can help clients who seek compensation for losses such as:

• Property damage and loss of use when contamination prevents normal or profitable use of land or facilities
• Diminished property value when pollution or the stigma of environmental damage reduces real estate worth
• Business interruption when contamination forces the temporary or permanent closure of commercial operations
• Cleanup and remediation costs when owners are forced to pay for decontamination or environmental testing

Our attorneys understand the complex scientific, regulatory, and valuation issues involved in these claims. We can work with environmental experts, economists, and engineers to quantify damages and demonstrate how contamination has affected each client’s property or livelihood.

Community & Class Action Litigation

When pollution affects large populations or entire neighborhoods, individual claims may be consolidated into class actions or multi-plaintiff cases. This approach allows affected residents or property owners to pursue justice collectively and share resources in complex litigation against powerful defendants.

Kershaw Talley Barlow has significant experience managing large-scale environmental and toxic exposure claims. Our firm’s class action background allows us to handle the procedural demands of these cases while maintaining focus on the unique impacts each client has suffered.
