Dismissal with Prejudice Obtained in Remediation Case Involving Environmental Violations

Environmental & Toxic Tort Litigation
April 14, 2025

We won a motion dismissing all claims with prejudice against our clients in a case involving a major remediation project for environmental violations. We filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint based on its failure to provide an affidavit of merit within the prescribed time, and because the agreed upon liability waiver clause precludes litigation against the individual defendants. We argued that public policy recognizes limitation of liability clauses when they are reasonable and when they incentivize the licensed professional to perform.
