Clearing the Air About
Litigation Support |
By their very nature, environmental issues often result in
unwanted litigation. If harmful contaminants are released — knowingly
or unknowingly — people may be at risk. Property values can be compromised.
Projects can be delayed or even stopped dead in their tracks. And, of
course, millions of dollars could be at stake. At CSC, we know that our
clients face the daunting task of complying with increasingly complex
environmental regulations every day. If necessary, we'll provide
you with the documentation, sample evidence and expert legal testimony
you need to achieve a fair and favorable disposition.
The Facts About Litigation Support
When legal questions arise
Over the years, CSC has provided expert legal testimony for hundreds
of clients like builders, contractors, insurance companies, home
and property owners, and manufacturers. We have served both plaintiff
and defendant in cases that have demanded the careful evaluation
of scientific data. In addition to expert testimony, our litigation
support team can help guide the trial strategy, provide the necessary
evidence samples, analyze data and test results, and research pertinent
environmental regulations.
| Knowledge is the key |
|
| Because we are experts at discovering sources
of
contamination and then designing remediation plans for their
removal, our knowledge can prove invaluable to your attorneys.
For example, contaminants such as mold, asbestos, lead-based
paint dust and other indoor air toxins are well-documented
as harmful to human beings. Our ability to collect, analyze
and even assist in interpreting the harmful effects of these
hazardous materials, can help provide the legal support you
need. |
 |
| Expert legal testimony or
not |
|
| Because of our thorough documentation, expert
sample analysis, and understanding of all the complex environmental
regulations, we can provide expert legal testimony based on
objective scientific data. And that can be very helpful when
legal issues are unavoidable. These same attributes, however,
also serve our clients even in a more powerful way. They don't
find themselves in court in the first place. And we think
that's the best litigation support of all. |
