Keller Rohrback has a long history of representing clients throughout the West Coast with respect to a variety of environmental claims. Attorneys in our complex litigation practice have successfully represented individuals and class members in environmental litigation issues relating to toxic exposures and environmental property damage. We further represented fishermen, landowners, and businesses located in Prince William Sound in their action against Exxon to recover damages caused by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. A federal jury awarded a $5 billion dollar judgment in favor of our clients. Additional claims against the pipeline owner were settled for $98 million.
Keller Rohrback has also handled environmental litigation involving home heating oil, contaminated drinking water, contaminated sediments, wood waste, dry cleaning operations, landfill leachate, wood treatment plants, metal smelting and finishing wastes, fishing farming, tank farms, chemical plants, gas stations, and major manufacturing concerns. We have also defended governmental entities in litigation including flooding and land use issues.
