Environmental Litigation

Environmental litigation can be based on any of hundreds of local, state and federal laws intended to protect the environment. It can be filed by a government agency seeking to enforce its laws; a nonprofit organization seeking to enforce the law; or individuals and companies with personal injuries or financial problems resulting from environmental contamination. Because environmental damage can be difficult to prove and expensive to repair, environmental suits are often very contentious. Among the duties of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency is administering abandoned hazardous waste sites designated as "Superfund" sites, named for the trust fund that was established in 1980 to pay for their cleanup. Because that fund has proven insufficient, litigation often arises over financial responsibility for Superfund sites’ cleanup.
