Pollution lawsuits are legal actions brought against individuals or entities alleged to have caused environmental harm or violated environmental regulations. These lawsuits can be filed by individuals, groups, or government agencies, and they can seek compensation for damages, injunctive relief, or both.
Pollution lawsuits can be an important tool for protecting the environment and public health. They can help to deter polluters from engaging in harmful activities, and they can provide compensation to victims of pollution. In some cases, pollution lawsuits have also led to important changes in environmental policy.
