Environmental Law
Best & Anderson represents many public interest clients, large and small. The goal of environmental law is to safeguard public lands, national forests, parks, and wilderness areas; to reduce air and water pollution; to prevent toxic contamination; and to preserve endangered species and wildlife habitat.
Starting at the end of 1969, new environmental statutes was passed and signed into law. By 1973, Congress had created the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Endangered Species Act. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was passed in 1970 along with the Environmental Quality Improvement Act, the Environmental Education Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The United States now has some of the strongest and most comprehensive environmental regulations in the world. Congress assigned various government agencies the task of enforcing environmental laws. Agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Forest Service are responsible for ensuring we have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and that public lands and wildlife are protected. Unfortunately, special interests pressure agencies to bend, if not break, the rules so profits from mining, logging, and other destructive activities can continue.
Toxic Torts
Toxic torts are cases involving individuals who have been injured by exposure to toxic chemicals such as asbestos, toxic mold, mercury, welding rod fumes, lead paint and many others.Industrial workers who are exposed to high levels of toxic substances, and even families who live or work in buildings with unsafe levels of toxic substances can suffer serious injury and even death as a result. The Toxic Substances Control Act (1976) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate the manufacture, distribution, import and processing of certain toxic chemicals.
If you or someone you know has encountered health problems as a result of dangerous toxicity, you may have a case. Below we've described four types of toxic tort cases:
