Practice Areas : Oil & Hazardous Materials Spills

Oil and hazardous materials spills seem to happen at the worst times, during Christmas, Thanksgiving and in the most recent example during the middle of the Pacific Airshow. There is really no good time for a spill but when it happens how your organization responds can be the difference between minimal injury and catastrophic economic and environmental damage and in the worst case criminal liability. Thomas Napoli is a trained oil spill responder, scientist and attorney who has responded to more than 100 spills of all sizes. He has helped prepare evidence for criminal and civil prosecution and ahs been involved in Natural Resources Damage Assessments. Thomas Napoli has prepared response strategies for sensitive sites and has helped oil spill responders conduct drills to better prepare for accidents that seem to inevitably occur. One lesson that has been learned time and again is that there is no substitute for being prepared and having the right team ready to respond. Let Thomas Napoli help your organization prepare for the unexpected and help guide your organization through any responses and the confusing multi-jurisdictional criminal and civil investigation and spill damage assessment that is likely to occur.
