'Old Smokey' Coconut Grove, Florida Lawsuit
“Old Smokey,” as it is colloquially called, was a municipal trash incinerator that operated in the segregated portion of Miami’s West Coconut Grove neighborhood for almost 50 years, beginning in 1926. Old Smokey was ultimately closed in 1970 after the City of Coral Gables, a predominately white neighborhood at the time, filed a nuisance lawsuit based on the fact that ash emitted from the Old Smokey incinerator was reaching its residents’ homes. The ash spewed across the community by the incinerator, and eventually buried across several West Coconut Grove parks, contained chemicals such dioxins, arsenic, lead and antimony – chemicals which are well-known to be harmful to human health.
PFAS Exposure Lawsuit
Exposure to certain firefighting foams containing PFAS can result in these 'forever chemicals' accumulating in individuals' bodies, potentially leading to serious health complications over time. Many individuals have been exposed to these chemicals through their drinking water, while others are exposed directly to the foam at firefighter stations, military bases, among others. We also fight for those suffering from illnesses linked to 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) found in firefighting gear that can seep into firefighters' skin through sweat and other exposure routes, posing serious health risks over time.
Zantac Lawsuit
Zantac has been connected to high levels of cancer-causing chemicals. If you or a family member used Zantac for 3 months or more and developed cancer, you may be entitled to compensation.
3M Hearing Lawsuit
Minneapolis-based 3M manufactured dual-ended earplugs for hearing protection from close range firearms and other loud impact noises. Due to the defective design, the earplugs can slightly loosen and subtly move out of the ear canal just enough for the loud sounds to cause hearing damage. According to reports, 3M knew of these design defects, but knowingly sold them to the US military from 2003-2015. As a result of the manufacturer of the defective earplugs failing to properly disclose the known defects and product limitations servicemen, woman, and combat veterans have reported multiple side effects, including hearing loss, tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, permanent hearing damage, and/or deafness.
Roundup Weed Killer Lawsuit
Roundup, a widely-used herbicide, has been linked to cancer, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia. Despite its long history since 1974, concerns over glyphosate's carcinogenic potential were highlighted by the WHO in 2015. Many in Florida unknowingly faced Roundup's cancer risk. If you or a loved one in Florida has been diagnosed with cancer due to Roundup exposure, you may qualify for a lawsuit to seek compensation and hold Monsanto accountable.
