Whistleblowers are vitally important, as they exercise integrity to make sure that wrongdoings are discovered, addressed and rectified. That being said, fewer and fewer people are stepping up to the plate to report their employers for environmental violations and other unsafe practices for fear of retaliation. At Rasansky | McKenzie Law, our job is to protect you from any sort of retaliation, while also helping you collect the cash reward to which you’re entitled.
The US has a variety of laws aimed at protecting our water, air, and soil (and citizens) from environmental harm. Companies who manufacture, produce, or dispose of hazardous substances are held accountable for properly managing and disposing of these toxins and pollutants by the EPA. Should they fail in this regard (e.g. illegal dumping, misrepresenting emission levels, chemical leaks, etc.), they can—and should—be held legally responsible.
Our entire legal team is focused on one word: You. You are the most important part of our practice: you, your family, your suffering, your livelihood, and your needs. Let us put our passion for helping others to work for you.

Environmental laws.
Our environment contains a fragile ecosystem which can be easily disrupted, causing harm to both plants and animals. It doesn’t help that many companies put profit above all else, risking public health in pursuit of the almighty dollar. However, the country has (over the last 30-odd years) enacted whistleblower protection laws in order to encourage employees to report environmental violations to the EPA without fear of retaliation.
