Advocating for People Hurt by Environmental Contamination

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 due to asbestos, styrene, and benzene. These substances can cause cancer, asthma, and other persistent health problems.

Michael W. Patrick helped pioneer litigation involving asbestos contamination, and he has handled toxic torts where people were injured by a contaminant.

Environmental Law Concerning Property Damage

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

Soil erosion can also cause serious property damage on adjoining property. Where a land developer has failed to protect against soil runoff, runoff on to other property or into streams can cause serious damage to both property values and use of land.
