Chicago Environmental Law Attorney
Water Contamination and Land Pollution
Our water supply can be threatened by pollution and contamination when a factory or business allows pollutants into the environment in Illinois. The Deratany Firm is staffed with experienced legal minds concentrating in environmental law. They can represent citizens injured by pollution, such as contaminated drinking water supplies.
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.
Drinking water pollution and land contamination happens all over the country. We, at The Deratany Firm, are determined to do something about it. You see, 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 Rhone-Poulanc, have faced the effects of their products through legal claims.
If your Illinois community has contaminated drinking water or polluted land, Jay Paul Deratany believes you should not have to bear the costs of clean-up alone. Talk to an experienced Chicago environmental contamination lawyer to find out if you can recover for damage to your property or for your personal injury.
