Environmental contamination and toxic tort claims arise when a person has an identifiable personal injury or property damage as a result of toxic releases into the environment such as chemical exposure and pollution. At Broussard & David, our environmental law practice is focused on representing plaintiffs in Louisiana in cases of environmental contamination. Personal injury claims related to environmental contamination can include cancer, asthma, persistent health conditions, sickness or wrongful death. Property damage claims can include groundwater contamination, contamination of a well, soil contamination, damage to structures on the property, or harm to animals on the property.

Environmental contamination can come from a variety of sources: petroleum products, dipping vats, industrial activities, chemical waste, etc. Liability may arise whether the contamination is purposeful, the result of negligence (of an individual, corporation or other entity), or the conduct of ultrahazardous activities.
