Alan Sklarsky

Biography: Alan Sklarsky

Alan Sklarsky has more than 27 years of experience in complex environmental, product liability, toxic tort, and pharmaceutical litigation. He has handled numerous high-profile groundwater contamination cases, some of which have set national precedents, including one against Exxon regarding contamination emanating from company branded stations. He represents employees working with or around industrial chemicals like benzene, tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene, or perc), vinyl chloride, and others.

“Environmental toxic dangers are routinely downplayed by the authorities or the perpetrating source –so communities need to be concerned –even skeptical –about what they’re told. And they need an advocate.”

Mr. Sklarsky has helped his clients recover extensive environmental cleanup costs from polluters, and has negotiated settlements of environmental insurance coverage claims. He has successfully litigated on behalf of victims of toxic chemical exposures, defectively designed machinery, and unsafe pharmaceutical products.

“The challenge in these cases lies in the science. It can be difficult to tie the disease process to a specific chemical or environmental condition.”
