Environmental Law and
Toxic Exposures
We represent clients before federal, state, and local agencies with respect to specific areas of environmental law, such as soil and groundwater contamination, hazardous waste, air quality issues, and toxic exposures. We represent clients in enforcement actions and litigation in connection with contamination of consumer products, real property, and the environment.
False Advertisement and Deceptive Trade Practices
Deceptive trade practices involve misleading information, unfounded claims, and various strategies designed to deceive consumers into purchasing products or services. For instance, a common example includes a used car dealer manipulating an odometer to advertise a lower mileage falsely. While California has not implemented the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, it enforces specific statutes that outlaw false advertising and odometer fraud.
Consumer Protection and Dangerous Products
Consumers often face injuries from defective products or unsafe foods, and these incidents fall under "product liability." In these cases, consumers rely on the integrity and safety measures of manufacturers and retailers. Consumer protection agencies play an essential role in safeguarding American consumers from these risks.
Personal Injury
Accidents can be a life-altering experience. Many individuals experience severe and incapacitating injuries that may persist for years or even a lifetime. Moments of negligence or a brief lapse in attention can have fatal consequences, leaving survivors to mourn and manage significant personal and financial hardships. Navigating who is at fault and who is responsible for covering damages can be addressed through the legal system. At Cornerstone Law Firm, PC, our Los Angeles personal injury department is dedicated to supporting you through the physical, emotional, and financial challenges brought on by the negligence of others.
