Los Angeles Disasters

In 2008, there were 3,586 oil spills in U.S. waters. The BP catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico is just the most prominent of the thousands of oil spills that blot our land and water every year. Regulators have proven unable to cope with the deluge. Tort litigation attorneys, such as Seeger Weiss, Los Angeles county lawyers are the only force capable of taking on Los Angeles disasters and corporate pollution on such a scale.

Laws to Prevent Environmental Disasters

Los Angeles county lawyers who specialize in toxic tort law have long been on the front lines of the environmental movement, opposing corporate plans to wipe out forests, cut down mountain tops, and destroys entire ecosystems. When corporate acts have resulted in Los Angeles disasters for ecosystems and communities, the initial outcry of politicians and regulators has often died out as time has gone by. However, Los Angeles county lawyers seek justice for their clients and fight on, sometimes over decades and against the most powerful corporations on the planet.

Corporations have consistently responded to environmental disasters caused by humans by passing the buck for as long as possible. As time passes, they know initial outrage will dim, media scrutiny will move on, political administrations will change, and clients of Los Angeles county lawyers may lose interest in fighting for justice.

The first attempts to get a handle on Los Angeles disasters, and disasters nationwide, came as several landmark laws. Between 1963 and 1972, Congress enacted, the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Clean Air Act to impose limits on corporate polluters that had polluted with abandon. Though a multitude of laws have been enacted since, the efforts of Los Angeles county lawyers and other nationally acclaimed lawyers who care about the environment, must continue as a safeguard to prevent other environmental disasters caused by humans.
