In 2018, attorney Rob Bilott filed a lawsuit against corporate entities tied to DuPont — which became defunct in 2017 — as well as 3M and other major chemical companies.
The movie “Erin Brockovich” told the real-life story of a California town whose residents went to court and won big after being exposed to a toxic chemical.
While Cincinnati-based Attorney Robert Bilott doesn’t have the same name recognition, he too has a movie dramatizing his courtroom battles. And now he may be on to something even bigger: a fight over a contaminated nation.
