New York Environmental Torts Attorneys Lead Fight

Environmental pollutants not only adversely affect our air, water and soil for generations to come; they can negatively alter someone’s health or livelihood right now. In most exposure type cases, the main goal of New York environmental torts attorneys is to collect damages for businesses and individuals who have suffered. Damages can’t erase the suffering, but can help one recover from lost income, to account for pain, and to reimburse any medical expenses that the victim has incurred as a result of a New York environmental injury.

Our Manhattan environmental torts lawyers’ help victims navigate tort law by first determining under what category a New York environmental injury falls: intentional, negligent or strict liability. For example, our New York environmental torts attorneys know that an intentional tort is caused by someone's clear intention to harm and these types of cases are more black and white than a negligent case.

Claiming Adverse Reaction from a Pollutant

According to the World Health Organization, about 3 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. While harm from air pollution can’t always be easily pinpointed, ill health from indoor air pollution can. New York buildings with poorly designed ventilation systems can trap pollutants, such as tobacco smoke, gases from stoves and furnaces, and harmful fumes given off by building materials. Other forms of harmful pollutants in which our New York environmental torts attorneys are keenly aware of include contaminated water runoff, the mishandling of solid waste disposal and noise pollution. Though noise pollution doesn’t dirty the air, water or land, it can cause great discomfort, anxiety and hearing loss to the people of New York—especially when exposed to it on a consistent basis.
