Representative Cases

Commissioner Department of Planning & Natural Resources v. Century Alumina Company
For decades, two industrial facilities on St. Croix polluted the island’s aquifer and the surrounding area. In actions seeking natural resource damages and remediation, defendants Hess Oil Virgin Islands Company, Hovensa, Lockheed Martin, Alcoa World Alumina, and St Croix Alumina agreed to pay millions in damages to the government of the Virgin Islands and embark on extensive environmental clean-up that is still on-going.

Catalyst Dust Litigation
Evans represented a group of 80 refinery workers who sued Hess Oil Virgin Islands Company on St. Croix after developing occupational lung disease as a result of being exposed to catalyst dust, which includes heavy metals such as nickel, platinum and cobalt. Following a month-long trial in 2010, the cases were settled just prior to jury deliberations.
