We spend most of our time indoors. Indoor environments contain many chemicals and biological agents. Increasingly, individuals claim to be made ill by indoor environments, or disputes arise about whether buildings are properly designed, operated and maintained to keep chemicals and biological agents within acceptable limits. Through handling such cases, our environmental litigators have developed significant experience in indoor environments.

Representative Matters: 

• Handled litigation nationwide on claims of injury based on alleged exposure to chemical emissions in indoor environments
• Developed strategies for investigating and responding to worker complaints of illness from indoor air in office buildings
•  Developed strategies for building owners and managers to respond and manage claims of mold contamination
• Handled nuisance and trespass claims alleging mold growth caused by water intrusion
