Chapel Hill NC Environmental Law Attorney

Toxic chemicals, petroleum and oil products, and soil erosion have caused serious problems for many people in North Carolina. Attorney Michael W. Patrick has spent more than 25 years serving homeowners, employees, land developers, home buyers, landlords, and other members of the greater Chapel Hill community who were injured or whose property was damaged by environmental contamination.

Contamination takes many forms, but essentially it happens when a party or company knowingly allows a toxic substance to affect people or their property. This includes scenarios involving silica, asbestos, contaminated groundwater, contaminated soil, contaminated air, cleanup liability, leaky underground fuel tanks, exposure to toxic chemicals, unchecked industrial pollution, and improper waste disposal.

Working to Protect Your Rights, Your Loved Ones, and Your Environment

At the Law Office of Michael W. Patrick, we handle environmental contamination claims in Central North Carolina that involve a specific, identifiable personal injury or instance of property damage. If your property was damaged or you are sick due to contamination, we can help you get compensation for the lost wages, hospitalization, medical care, and pain and suffering associated with your injury.

A Litigator in Environmental Contamination Cases

Exposure to toxic chemicals released into the environment can cause both property damage and serious personal injury. Our firm handles wrongful death and personal injury claims associated with asbestos, styrene, and benzene. These substances can cause tumors and growths, leukemia, lymphoma, other types of cancer, asthma, aplastic anemia and other blood disorders, lung disease, and additional serious and long-term health problems.

Personal injury attorney Michael W. Patrick helped pioneer litigation involving asbestos contamination in North Carolina; he has handled several types of toxic tort cases where people were injured by a contaminant. He has more than three decades of experience helping the people of North Carolina obtain compensation for injuries caused by exposure to deadly substances.

Environmental Law Concerning Property Damage

Toxic chemicals and petroleum constituents can cause ground water contamination, well contamination, and soil contamination. Chemical or petroleum contamination can cause significant property damage, as well as sickness and diseases.

Where a land developer has failed to protect against soil runoff, runoff onto other property or into streams can seriously damage both property values and potential land use.

If you or your property have been harmed and you suspect the problem was related to toxic chemicals, please contact our office today.
