With increasing frequency, American communities are learning their water supplies and topsoil have been contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS” or “forever chemicals”) or other carcinogens such as benzene. These contaminations can have a devastating impact on individuals’ lives, and it is essential that individuals are represented by counsel that knows how to respond.
SGT currently represents plaintiffs and a proposed class of over 300 residents of Westminster, Massachusetts whose drinking water and soil has been contaminated by toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) discharged from a composting site which dumped paper mill waste. SGT filed a class action on behalf of Westminster residents in August 2022 and has, since filing, monitored Defendants’ compliance with MassDEP directives regarding remediation efforts.
