Challenges can be brought to government regulations and permits. Federal, state, and local agencies bring enforcement actions to secure compliance.
Landowners sue in eminent domain cases for increased money damages.
Government goes against responsible parties for reimbursement for the costs of assessing, containing, and cleaning up hazardous waste. Landowners and businesses harmed by contamination sue for negligence, nuisance, trespass, breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, and Superfund liability. Past and present owners, transporters, and generators of waste sue each other for contribution. In all these kinds of lawsuits, strong, competent representation is important. Our legal and consulting services emphasize litigation as a last but often necessary resort.
