The Downs Law Group represents people who have been hurt by exposure to toxic or potentially toxic substances. We have worked with exposures to a variety of different chemicals, including PFAS, benzene, dioxins, arsenic, lead, among others.
We are typically appointed to represent large groups of plaintiffs in lawsuits. We litigate all types of environmental toxic tort lawsuits, including class actions, in courtrooms and appellate courts. We have experience with the most catastrophic environmental impact lawsuits in the United States— the BP oil spill—and we have also successfully litigated toxic tort mass actions in jury trials.
Now more than ever, individuals are vulnerable to all kinds of chemical exposures, such as from contaminated drinking water, airborne chemical leaks, waste or chemical spills, through seepage from landfills, dumpsites, and power plants, among others. Regardless of the source, you should be entitled to compensation and the Downs Law Group is here to fight for you. Every day, attorneys at the Downs Law Group fight to hold environmental polluters accountable for the harm they do to individuals and their loved ones.
