According to the United States Energy Information Administration, Louisiana is the seventh-largest crude oil producer in the country. Companies such as Shell and Dow Chemical call Louisiana home, and just in the past year, one company has pledged to construct one of the largest chemical plants in the entire country in Lake Charles, LA.

These activities can unfortunately result in frequent environmental contamination and chemical exposure claims. These claims can be enormous, involving thousands of claimants and hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. Defending these claims calls for knowledge of the applicable law, expertise in the science associated with these chemicals and varying types of exposure, and good judgment in determining how to defend the specific issues that arise in each case. Without an ability to handle all aspects of these difficult claims, clients can be left at a significant disadvantage when facing liability for environmental losses.
