Regardless of a company's vigilance, there is always the potential for a crisis situation. Our Emergency Response and Crisis Management team at Roetzel & Andress provides comprehensive services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether the circumstance involves a significant accident, fire, explosion, or chemical release, the first hours after such an event are critical from a liability management standpoint. We work with our clients at every step to address the issues that may arise as a result of industrial accidents, personal injuries, or other catastrophes.

We recognize that proper crisis management often requires the involvement of specialized legal counsel trained in several different disciplines. Our emergency response service is designed as a cradle-to-grave program and is divided into four main areas: OSHA / Workers' Compensation; Environmental; Risk Management / Trucking; and Litigation. When additional counseling or consulting services are required, our Emergency Response team has the experience and relationships necessary to marshal the appropriate resources and maximize the success of the overall emergency response effort.

Having handled numerous emergency response incidents for our clients, our Emergency Response team has developed highly effective strategies for addressing the vast array of issues that often arise. Whether we are called upon to implement an emergency response protocol, address regulatory agencies, interface with the media, or provide advice in anticipation of litigation, we have the technical and legal resources necessary to help our clients tailor their response actions to the given emergency situation.
