Our attorneys' experience in this specialized type of insurance coverage goes back to the "heyday"of environmental coverage litigation in the early 1980's. Our attorneys have worked on coverage cases where the issues involved underlying chemical plants, refineries, recycling facilities, landfills, junkyards, lagoons, floor drains, drum disposal and point-source discharges, to name just a few. We have litigated critical coverage issues such as "expected/ intended", "sudden & accidental", "known loss", "loss-in-progress", "owned property" and many others. Some of the cases in which this expertise was developed include:
- Obtained favorable settlement on behalf of insurer client in Pennsylvania action involving underlying claims of fetal injury from alleged workplace exposure to toxic paint fumes.
- Represented major insurance company in multimillion dollar coverage litigation brought by W.R. Grace concerning extensive soil and groundwater pollution at the so-called "Hatco" facility in Edison, New Jersey.
