    If you live in Southern California or have visited the area before, you probably have enjoyed spending a day or two at one of the world-renowned beaches. As one of the most popular beaches in Southern California, Huntington Beach offers visitors a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities, from sand volleyball tournaments to boogie boarding on some of the most breathtaking, as well as challenging waves found along the West Coast of the United States. Unfortunately, a massive oil spill in 2021 has dramatically altered the ecosystem not only in Southern California but also hundreds of miles into the vastness called the Pacific Ocean.

    More than 126,000 gallons of oil washed ashore in Orange County California, which forced city officials to close beaches and coastal areas, as well as cancel outdoor recreational activities such as deep sea fishing. The leak, which originated from a pipe located under an offshore platform, killed dozens of different species of wildlife that includes both land and marine life. Although local emergency service personnel have worked around the clock to clean up the oil spill, the flow of dead fish and animals continues to find its way on the once-white sandy beach located at Huntington Beach.

    The Huntington Beach spill is just one of many types of toxic & environmental lawsuits in California. As one of the most difficult types of personal injury cases to litigate, the victims negatively impacted by events such as an oil spill, lead poisoning, and groundwater contamination often do not develop symptoms until months, even years after an incident. For example, the health consequences of the Huntington Beach oil spill might not be discovered until several years down the road. The combination of delayed symptoms and the complexity of proving negligence means if you have developed an illness because of a toxic environmental event, you should act with a sense of urgency and contact an environmental justice attorney who has considerable experience litigating toxic and environmental lawsuits in California.

    At Morgan and Morgan, we are proud to call the beautiful state of California home. From the majestic mountain peaks located in Yosemite National Park to the awesome display of sequoia trees in the northern part of the state, California offers more natural wonders than any other state.
