California Environmental Attorneys

At Danko Meredith, our environmental attorneys leverage decades of experience to assist individuals and businesses affected by environmental disasters and toxic torts. We specialize in complex litigation, including cases involving utility-caused wildfires, PFAS contamination, gas leaks, and other hazardous exposures.

Our mission is to secure justice and maximize compensation for those harmed by these man-made disasters.

Environmental Litigation Expertise

With years of success as trial attorneys, our team excels in environmental disaster cases. We’ve managed high-profile wildfire claims, particularly those caused by utility negligence, and have successfully represented clients in toxic tort cases concerning water contamination and exposure to hazardous chemicals.

We are deeply committed to holding responsible parties accountable and ensuring that victims receive full compensation for their losses.

PFAS Contamination

Often called “forever chemicals,” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of toxic substances that persist in the environment. They have been linked to a range of serious health issues, including different cancers, liver damage, kidney damage, and developmental harm.

Danko Meredith represents clients exposed to PFAS through contaminated water, firefighting foam, and other sources. Our firm is actively engaged in ongoing PFAS litigation, working to hold accountable the companies responsible for introducing these dangerous substances into the environment.

California Wildfire Claims

Danko Meredith is a leader in representing individuals and businesses impacted by wildfires, especially those caused by utility negligence in California.

In recent years, California has suffered some of the most destructive wildfires, many of which were traced back to utility companies’ failure to maintain equipment and infrastructure. Our firm has successfully secured over $1.5 billion in compensation for victims, including those who lost homes, businesses, and personal property.

We’ve handled cases involving wildfires caused by failed electrical equipment, downed power lines, and overlooked maintenance issues. Our team is passionate about fighting for justice on behalf of wildfire victims, and we have the experience and expertise to navigate California’s complex environmental laws to ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve.

Porter Ranch/Aliso Canyon Gas Leak

We also represent victims of the Porter Ranch gas leak, one of the largest environmental disasters in California’s history.

The release of methane and other harmful gases from a ruptured natural gas well at the Aliso Canyon underground facility caused widespread health problems and property damage in the Porter Ranch community. The disaster led to the evacuation of thousands and resulted in both immediate and long-term environmental and health impacts for the community.

Danko Meredith fought tirelessly to secure compensation for the affected residents and ensure that those responsible were held accountable for their negligence.

Our Approach: Contingency-Fee Representation

At Danko Meredith, we recognize the financial hardship caused by environmental disasters. That’s why we represent victims of environmental disaster and toxic tort cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you won’t owe legal fees unless we secure compensation for you.

Our contingency-fee model eliminates financial risk, allowing you to pursue justice with peace of mind as you focus on your recovery.

We cover all litigation expenses during the litigation process, which includes paying experts their respective fees. We work with top experts to investigate the causes of environmental harm, assess damages, and help ensure maximum recovery for our clients.
