phillips, hunt, walker & hanna Toxic torts, environmental contamination and cancer clusters

When local officials sought land for public housing, often the parcels selected were situated amid heavily industrialized sites.When chemicals were released into our soil and water, no one tested the cause and effect on people. When cancer causing agents cause clusters of cancer, the industry and even government agencies depending on their tax dollars deny causation. Environmental Contamination, often called toxic tort, is a wildly expanding area of injury litigation.

Our firm has met with top environmental advocates and scientists to learn about these catastrophic occurrences. Despite federal, state and municipal laws, chemicals and toxins are released into the environment every day- some legally, some illegally. Sometimes the toxins get into the groundwater. Other times, the pollution is in the air.

Every year, hundreds of communities across the U.S. find themselves in the same place as Waycross, Georgia does right now — worried and full of questions about cancer clusters and abnormal death rates.
