Through extensive work with ports, public entities, and transportation-sector clients on some of the country's largest harbors, bays and river systems, the attorneys of Jackson Gilmour & Dobbs, PC have developed a unique capacity to handle extremely complex natural resource damages (NRD) matters. NRD claims may encompass injuries to bays, rivers and other surface waters, wetlands, sediments and soil, groundwater, wildlife, fish, birds and other biota - as well as the economic consequences of such injuries - associated with hazardous substances and environmental degradation. Thus, injuries to natural resources can have a substantial impact upon port authorities, the channels of commerce and the public, and claims for such damages can be truly significant.
Through handling multiple, significant NRD claims across the country, our attorneys have gained the education, knowledge and experience necessary to provide our clients with exceptional service and counsel at these very complex sites. We routinely work with many of the country's preeminent experts in a variety of disciplines involved in NRD assessment and damages matters. Moreover, our representation of State trustees, port authorities, and the regulated community allows us an understanding of NRD matters that is truly uncommon.
