Environmental issues affect us all, whether it’s the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the land we live on. When these resources are contaminated due to negligent or intentional actions, the consequences can be severe, leading to personal injury, property damage, and wrongful death.
At Berly Rouse in Charleston, South Carolina, we specialize in environmental tort cases. Our environmental torts attorneys can help you seek compensation for the harm you’ve suffered and hold companies and manufacturers liable for the damage they’ve caused.
Environmental and toxic torts are legal claims arising from environmental damage. Toxic tort cases often occur due to pollution or contamination that impacts individuals, communities, or properties.
Typically, they arise from industrial operations, improper waste disposal, or non-compliance with environmental laws like the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act. When companies fail to follow these regulations, the resulting harm can lead to toxic tort litigation, which holds the responsible parties accountable and compensates those harmed.
