Case Study: DuPont Faces PFAS Litigation and Regulatory Pressure with Taft Law

DuPont pays over $850 million in PFAS claims with Taft Law

The customer, DuPont, faced significant legal and environmental challenges related to the contamination of water supplies with PFAS "forever chemicals" from its manufacturing operations. This contamination was linked to serious health issues and required a comprehensive legal and regulatory response. The vendor, Taft Law, provided litigation and advisory services, spearheaded by attorney Robert Bilott, to address these complex issues.

Taft Law implemented a multi-decade legal strategy, beginning with a pivotal lawsuit against DuPont. This solution involved extensive discovery, class action litigation, and settlements that forced DuPont to provide clean water and medical monitoring for affected communities. The results were substantial, including over $850 million in recoveries for injured individuals from DuPont and the establishment of the first-ever national drinking water standards for PFAS by the U.S. EPA. Taft Law's work created a global precedent for holding corporations accountable for environmental pollution.
