Toxic Exposure

New Jersey and Pennsylvania: Toxic Exposure

Attorneys at Merovitz, Cedar & Gruber, LLC, (MCG Legal), our firm, with locations in Mount Laurel and Philadelphia, represent those who have suffered serious injuries or losses as a result of toxic exposure or other environmental contamination.

Our clients include individuals and communities with claims for losses suffered due to contaminated air, water, and soil, and sound pollution. We feel every child and adult has the right to live in a safe environment, free from toxins that cause cancer, asthma, brain damage, and other environmental illnesses, and free from environmental factors that reduce the quality of life. Our lawyers have successfully handled individual and mass torts on behalf of homeowners and communities. We are prepared to handle claims involving the following issues:

• Contaminated drinking water, air pollution, sound pollution
• Lead poisoning, asbestosis, and environmental cancers, including leukemia and lung cancer,
• Chemical exposure to toxic products including paint, solvents, industrial cleaners, and asbestos
• Toxic waste
• Black mold

Our attorneys successfully represented the city of Camden, New Jersey, in a case where drinking water was contaminated by chromium, a carcinogen. The chemical originated in a manufacturing plant in Pennsauken and leached into the community's well.

In a separate mass tort action, our lawyers recovered awards for air pollution produced by particulate matter (cement dust) released by a slag company, and noise pollution from the trucks transporting the slag. The lawyers were successful in demanding that fifty homes in South Camden be relocated to a safer area.

If you, or members of your community have suffered economic losses or serious chemical exposure injury as a result of an environmental carcinogen or other toxic pollutant, or your community has been victimized by a corporation in another way, it is important to take measures as soon as possible in order to hold those responsible accountable.
