We Are Experienced New York and New Jersey Environmental Contamination Class Action Attorneys
Our class action practice grew out of our litigation practice. Class actions allow clients with limited resources to litigate against big adversaries with more resources. A class action makes it possible to press claims that otherwise would cost too much to pursue. In a class action, clients with common interests litigate through one or more representatives who have similar interests.
Class actions work where people are affected by common circumstances. Environmental issues that impact a group of people (including pollution in its many forms) can present appropriate circumstances for class action litigation. For example, in April 2019, we obtained certification in Superior Court of a class action on behalf of over 400 residential property owners whose homes have been affected by groundwater contamination emanating from the former headquarters of Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. in Nutley and Clifton, New Jersey.
Not every class action involves so many claimants. If you have an environmental issue affecting your own neighborhood or town, we are available for consultation about legal options, which might include a class action.
