Cases

The firm represents 30 individuals, all residents or former residents in a lakeside residential community in Northwestern Illinois, who have contracted brain cancer or brain tumors due to toxic chemical releases at a nearby chemical and industrial manufacturing facility. The individual cancer cases seek compensatory and punitive damages against Rohm and Haas Chemical Company (formerly Morton Chemical), for decades of dumping chemical toxins, into the soil, air and groundwater just uphill and upstream from plaintiffs’ homes. The firm also has filed a Class Action, seeking medical monitoring and damages for property loss and other expenses, on behalf of all the other residents of the community, McCullom Lake Village, because of the decades of exposure and the obviously increased incidence of brain cancer.
