Has someone polluted your neighborhood with harmful chemicals? Are you considering moving forward with an environmental lawsuit?

As one of the nation’s leading plaintiffs’ law firms, Weitz & Luxenberg can provide you with the legal strength you need to take on companies that have polluted your community with dangerous chemicals.

We are here to help ensure that you and your neighbors have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, and that your property is protected from activities that threaten to devalue it, such as corporate dumping.

Our clients have been the victims of vapor intrusion, tainted water, and noxious odors and toxic emissions from landfills, among other acts of negligence.

Our environmental attorneys are litigators with extensive courtroom experience and an in-depth understanding of the environmental laws.

Our litigation encompasses toxic tort, personal injury and property damage claims. We counsel and represent our clients in all phases of civil litigation, including all pre-trial proceedings.

Among other matters, Weitz & Luxenberg is currently litigating two large cases involving injuries people have sustained as a result of exposures to contaminants in their drinking water and/or in the air they breathe: one in Plant City, Florida, which has approximately 1,000 plaintiffs, and one in Grand Island, Nebraska, which has approximately 300 plaintiffs.

Our Success
The firm recently secured a landmark settlement against some of the country's biggest oil companies for contaminating public drinking water supplies with a gasoline additive known as methyl butyl tertiary ether, or MTBE. Most of those defendants agreed to pay $423 million to settle suits involving the contamination of 153 public and private drinking water systems nationally.

Weitz & Luxenberg has been winning such cases for over 20 years.

If your community has been affected by PCE or any other pollutant, we may be able to help. Please complete the form below for a free legal review of your potential environmental case. A representative of our firm will be in touch shortly.
