Groundwater Contamination Lawyer

Groundwater Contamination Lawyer

Industrial pollutants, garbage, and sewage pose an immediate and devastating threat to one of the most important, but frequently overlooked, natural resources on the earth. Experts speculate that most of the potable water in the world is locked beneath the ground in special areas called aquifers.

Unfortunately, a great deal of the water in the world is now polluted. Many people who believe that they are drinking clean water come to realize they have been poisoned by industrial byproducts or toxic chemicals. Many of the potentially dangerous conditions caused by polluted groundwater do not have any symptoms until years after initial exposure, which makes them extremely difficult to treat and prevent.

If you suffered an illness because of groundwater contamination you may have a right to take action against those responsible. An experienced, dedicated, and compassionate lawyer will stand up for your rights and help you fight for justice today.

Contaminated Wells & Groundwater Contamination

In areas where there is no significant water, infrastructure wells provide vitally important irrigation, washing, and drinking water. Although almost 31 million or 16% of the people in the United States get their water from private wells, these water sources are not protected by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and they must rely on their state and local governments to protect them.

Industrial pollutants, run-off from streets, and sewage can all seep into the ground and pollute groundwater and wells that people depend on for their very lives. Depending on the chemical involved, many victims of contaminated wells suffer from cancer, learning disabilities, gastrointestinal problems, and heart, liver, and kidney failure.

If the water you and your family depend on is contaminated or polluted, you may have the right to take action. Let a dedicated and experienced legal team guide you through the complicated legal process that is necessary for you to seek justice. We are ready to help you today.

Underground Contamination Lawsuits

Many different factors can contribute to underground contamination of water supplies. Most of these factors stem from some form of industrial or environmental pollution caused by companies who fail to take adequate safety precautions to protect the public at large.

Underground contamination can come from landfills, industrial plants, and even graveyards. The pollution of underground water supplies can exist for years before any adverse effects are felt, and unfortunately by the time anyone notices it too late to halt the advance of potentially fatal conditions.

If you suffered injury because of underground contamination you may have a right to collect damages from those who are responsible. Contact our dedicated and experienced underground contamination lawyers today, and let us fight for you.

MTBE Chemical Contamination

MTBE, or methyl tertiary-butyl ether, is a gasoline additive intended to reduce pre-combustion ignition that robs internal combustion engines of their efficiency and causes the easily recognizable “knocking” sound. It is one of the most commonly produced chemical in the United States, with over 200,000 barrels produced every day.

Because MTBE use is so widespread, it is one of the most common pollutants contaminating groundwater supplies. Not only is MTBE a potential carcinogen, it also adversely affects the smell and taste of water at even very small concentrations.

If MTBE has caused you to suffer adverse health effects, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your pain and suffering. Contact our dedicated and professional attorneys and let us fight for you today.
