Environmental Pollutants

Environmental pollutants are often unseen, undetected dangers that inhabit the workplace, home, or anywhere else industrial goods are used. While some environmental pollutants are considered safe for human consumption and are byproducts of new technologies, others can cause serious illness, disability, and even death. To ensure economic growth and development does not pose a risk to human life and prosperity, the regulation of environmental pollutants is of the utmost importance .

Environmental litigation poses unique legal challenges. In addition to involving complex scientific and technical issues, it deals with local, state and federal courts and administrative agencies whose authorities often overlap. Aimed at protecting people and their property from corporate polluters, environmental litigators review claims regarding damage caused by companies small or large discharging toxins into the surrounding environment.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to be connected to an environmental pollutant, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
