Types of Environmental Pollution Cases We Handle

Environmental pollution can take many forms. Stag Liuzza handles a wide range of pollution-related matters, including:

Groundwater and Drinking Water Contamination

Pollutants released from landfills, industrial sites, or storage facilities can seep into groundwater and public water systems. These cases often involve long-term exposure risks and the need for extensive testing and cleanup.

Soil Contamination

Toxic chemicals may contaminate soil through spills, improper disposal, or historical industrial activity. Soil contamination can limit property use, reduce land value, and pose direct health risks.

Air Pollution and Emissions

Industrial emissions and airborne contaminants can affect surrounding neighborhoods, causing respiratory illness and other health problems.

Hazardous Waste and Chemical Releases

Improper handling or disposal of hazardous materials can lead to widespread environmental damage and regulatory violations.

Oil, Fuel, and Industrial Spills

Leaks from pipelines, tanks, or industrial equipment can contaminate land and water, requiring costly remediation.

Every environmental case is different, but our approach never changes. We conduct detailed investigations, keep communication clear, and prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That preparation helps us pursue accountability and compensation, even when claims are complex or disputed.

Who We Represent

Environmental pollution affects people and property in many different ways. Stag Liuzza represents individuals, families, landowners, and communities impacted by contamination caused by industrial activity, waste disposal, and environmental mismanagement.

Our environmental pollution practice commonly represents:

Homeowners and Residents

Individuals and families exposed to contaminated drinking water, polluted soil, or hazardous air emissions near their homes. These cases often involve long-term exposure concerns, health risks, and loss of property value.

Landowners and Property Owners

Property owners whose land has been contaminated by industrial waste, chemical releases, or migrating pollutants. Pollution can limit property use, interfere with development, and significantly reduce property value.

Communities and Neighborhood Groups

Neighborhoods and community groups affected by widespread environmental contamination, such as groundwater pollution, landfill leakage, or industrial discharge. These cases may involve shared water systems or regional exposure concerns.

Workers Exposed to Environmental Contaminants

Individuals exposed to hazardous substances through their work or proximity to industrial operations. These matters may overlap with toxic exposure and occupational exposure claims.

Businesses and Agricultural Operations

Businesses, farms, and land-based operations harmed by environmental contamination that disrupts operations, damages land, or interferes with water access.
