Landfill Litigation
The Simon Law Firm represent clients from around the country who were hurt by a variety of unsafe environmental exposures. For example, we currently represent the homeowners in one Florida neighborhood who live near Coyote Landfill in litigation against the landfill owners. The suit alleges that the landfill polluted the properties with arsenic, benzene, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and other chemicals. A survey revealed that people living less than a mile from the landfill had more health problems such as respiratory problems, nausea, dizziness and other gastrointestinal problems than those living a mile or two away. Similar problems exist for our clients around the Saufley Landfill in Pensacola, Florida, of which we obtained a settlement.
We are also representing residents in a neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio against Chrysler and Behr Dayton Corporation. The suit alleges that property values have dropped significantly due to an underground TCE plume coming from the Behr Dayton plant. TCE is short for Trichloroethylene, a colorless fluid which is used as an industrial degreaser. Drinking or breathing high levels of trichloroethylene may cause nervous system effects, liver and lung damage, abnormal heartbeat, coma, and possibly death.
Landfills and toxic waste dumps are among the various types of environmental and toxic exposures. Other examples of toxic and environmental injuries include childhood lead poisoning. We represent many kids who have had their lives altered at any early stage by the scourge of lead paint poisoning. We are dedicated to helping children who have been poisoned by lead paint. We also handle benzene cases in numerous jurisdictions throughout the United States, representing people afflicted with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), as well as other forms of leukemia and cancer.
