Soil Contamination Lawsuits
Dry cleaning companies, gas stations, photo labs, logging mills and other industrial businesses can leave chemicals in the soil for many years to come. Even residential properties can become contaminated, causing problems for future owners. At The Law Office of Catherine C. Clark, our experienced environmental law attorney represents clients dealing with soil contaminants, such as:
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Lead
- Hydrocarbons
- Metals
- Dioxins
- Benzenes
- Phosphates
- Petroleum products
- Solvents
Sometimes environmental issues are brought to light when the government is seizing a property for condemnation or eminent domain. We can also protect your rights during these proceedings.
Did You Contribute to the Contamination?
If you were ever an owner or a tenant of a contaminated property, you could be considered liable for the clean-up costs, unless you show that your activities did not contribute to the contamination. The burden of proof lies with you and your attorney.
At The Law Office of Catherine C. Clark, our lawyers will always be honest and direct in analyzing your situation and identifying your options. Contact us for strong representation in a contamination or other environmental law cases. You can reach us at 888-819-0420 or through our online form.
