Gordon & Rees has launched Environmental and Toxic Tort Defense Insight, a blog that covers the ETT legal landscape by providing invaluable information on environmental, chemical, asbestos and other toxic tort claims.
Edited by partners Mike Pietrykowski, Don Willenburg and Christopher Strunk, the blog offers perspectives on timely federal and state legal issues involving air, ground or water contamination; pathogen exposure; chemical or environmental causes of damage or disease; and leaked, spilled, ingested or inhaled substances.
With contributions from members of Gordon & Rees’s Environmental/Toxic Tort Practice Group – nationwide leaders in the defense of ETT claims – the blog also addresses hot topics including asbestos multidistrict litigation; permissible limits for workplace silica exposure; and proposed changes to regulations on agricultural chemicals. The blog will identify best practices to prevent litigation and to limit potential liabilities by ensuring compliance with major environmental statutes.
