Groundwater Contamination Litigation: Proving and Defending Against Liability
On April 21, 2026, Byron Gee co-presented “Groundwater Contamination Litigation: Proving and Defending Against Liability,” a BARBRI webinar.
Groundwater contamination litigation is on the rise. Recent cases and enforcement actions have produced significant remediation commitments and damages exposure. Regulatory activity is rising at both federal and state levels, often accompanied by parallel private claims.
Litigation of such claims is quite arduous. Proving or defending against groundwater contamination liability involves significant documentation, scientific reports and expert testimony. With increasing regulatory and litigation activity related to groundwater pollution, counsel must have the tools necessary to strategize in proving or defending against liability.
The presenters examined the regulatory structures for groundwater contamination, discussed lessons learned from recent cases of significance and the trends for damage recovery and offered best practices for identifying the sources and proving liability, as well as defending against such claims.
