Los Angeles environmental law encompasses the following damages and exposures:

Los Angeles Air Pollution

You have a right to breathe clean air and to know that your and your children’s futures are not in jeopardy due to illness from exposure to air pollutants or the harmful impacts of climate change. The federal Clean Air Act and the state’s Mulford-Carrell and Global Warming Solutions Acts are designed to protect citizens and the environment from the detrimental effects of air pollution and climate change.

Unfortunately, many polluting industries are concentrated where residents with limited resources live. We work with clients pursuing environmental justice cases against those businesses and industries that take advantage of disadvantaged communities and individuals to engage in harmful discharge practices that pose a danger to health and well-being.

Hazardous Materials Dumping & Spills

Oil, chemicals, and industrial waste pose significant risks to environmental and human health. When companies and individuals improperly handle, transport, or dispose of these materials, it often results in soil, freshwater, ocean, and air contamination, leading to the loss of plant and animal life, natural resources, and human health hazards. 

Matern Law Group is committed to fighting those practicing unsafe, hazardous materials handling and dumping. You can trust that our Los Angeles environmental health lawyers will leave no stone unturned to hold them responsible for the damage they cause.

Los Angeles Water Pollution

California’s surface and groundwater sources are essential to the health and survival of the state’s ecosystems and citizens. Water pollution and contamination sources include agricultural runoff, industrial waste dumping and disposal, road runoff, groundwater injections and pumping, underground waste storage leaching, and chemical and oil spills.

Contamination can lead to hazardous environmental conditions for plant and animal survival. When people drink water with unsafe levels of toxins such as arsenic, benzene, chromium, and cadmium, it can have serious health implications.

The federal Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act protect surface and groundwater sources from contamination and pollution. All living things have a right to clean water, and our Los Angeles environmental law firm seeks to hold those who violate the laws governing water quality accountable for their actions.

At Matern Law Group, our Los Angeles environmental health lawyers approach water contamination cases with urgency and attention to detail. We advocate for individuals, businesses, and communities affected by environmental negligence, using strategic legal action to protect public welfare and drive meaningful change.
