Overview
Protecting Your Rights: Water Contamination Lawyers
Chemicals in the groundwater and substances or objects dumped in oceans, lakes and rivers are all examples of how natural resources are abused, and how the environment can become a place of exposure for people. The Clean Water Act is the primary federal law in the United States to restore and maintain the integrity of waterways, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulatory powers to manage natural resources, but still in many places water pollution persists with a wide variety of chemicals putting people at risk.
Water contamination litigation
Many chemicals are incredibly toxic to our health and are far too common in our communities.
In some cases a group of people, such as employees or neighbors, are exposed to a toxic substance together, which can result in a class action lawsuit. We have experienced toxic tort attorneys who have handled a variety of toxic tort cases, including class action lawsuits for their clients.
An example of a water contamination case is our fight for residents with cancer living near a metal processing plant in Union, Illinois, where evidence shows they had been contaminating groundwater with a multitude of carcinogens for decades. Furthermore, this contamination occurred only feet from a school for 6th to 12th graders.
