Groups of people who have been injured by environmental pollution may have significant legal claims. When a group of people either have an identifiable personal injury, or property damage from toxic releases into the environment, then you may have a claim.
People who ingest toxins through drinking water or exposure to land contaminated with pollutants occurs all over the United States of America. Dangerous chemicals and toxins are sometimes hidden or buried for many years after a plant has closed, leaving people with little opportunity for legal action. The attorneys at McGowan, Hood & Felder, LLC are aware of how to attempt to provide legal recourse for those people who have been harmed by water contamination or land pollution.
Factories and businesses pollute in many ways. The most common cause of environmental pollution is petroleum. This usually takes the form of gasoline leaking from an underground storage tank. However, pollution can take many different forms. For example, toxic exposure to herbicides and pesticides create health effects related to the following areas: reproductive, gynecological, immunological, liver, gall bladder, dermatological, neurological, and cancer (such as soft tissue sarcomas, lymphomas and leukemia). Manufacturers of these chemicals have often defended cases involving personal injuries. Such manufacturers as Dow, Hercules, Monsanto, Diamond Shamrock, Georgia Pacific, ITT, Champion, Vertac, and RhonePoulanc, have faced the effects of their products through legal claims.
