The formation comes as microplastics-related federal cases surged to at least 18 filings between January 2024 and December 2025, compared to just one in the prior six-year period, with the EPA designating microplastics as a priority contaminant group for the first time in April 2026. Milberg currently represents the City of Baltimore in two pending actions against plastics and tobacco manufacturers alleging that single-use products have created public nuisances and imposed significant cleanup costs.PR NewswireNapoli Shkolnik Secures $21.8 Million Verdict Against Norfolk Southern in Toxic Exposure CaseNapoli Shkolnik PLLC secured a $21.8 million verdict against Norfolk Southern Railway Company on behalf of the estate of Randall Redford, a 38-year railroad maintenance worker who developed Acute Myeloid Leukemia from occupational exposure to diesel exhaust and creosote. The jury found Norfolk Southern 48% liable, rejecting the railroad's defense that attributed 100% of blame to the plaintiff's 40+ year smoking history. The verdict compensates the estate for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and mental anguish from his 2019 diagnosis until his death in 2024.PR NewswireNapoli Shkolnik, PLLC Files Lawsuit Against Uber on Behalf of New York Woman Sexually Assaulted by Driver While in ColombiaNapoli Shkolnik, PLLC filed a federal lawsuit (1:25-cv-05257) against Uber and its subsidiaries on behalf of a New York woman who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by her Uber driver in Colombia, alleging that Uber failed to properly screen drivers, ignored prior complaints, and neglected to implement basic safety measures for users overseas.

The case mirrors broader litigation (MDL No. 3084) consolidated in the Northern District of California, which also addresses allegations of sexual assault by Uber drivers.PR NewswireNapoli Shkolnik Strengthens Legal Team with Former Federal ProsecutorsNapoli Shkolnik, a New York-based national law firm specializing in complex environmental and commercial litigation, announced the hiring of former federal prosecutors Sean P.

Decades of AFFF use, storage, and disposal at the former Reese Air Force Base caused widespread groundwater contamination, with over 500 private drinking water wells sampled and elevated PFAS levels exceeding EPA health advisory levels detected in dozens of wells.
