Environmental conditions can lead to claims by neighboring property owners that actions by neighboring property owners or conditions on neighboring property constitute a nuisance or trespass.  Many conditions can form the basis for these suits, including claims that chemical contamination is migrating from neighbors’ property, claims that stormwater runoff from a neighbor’s property has caused damage, and that construction noise and disruption constitutes and nuisance.  Our trial lawyers have handled these cases in both litigation and arbitration.
