ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & INJURIES:

AIR POLLUTION


Exposure to air pollution threatens both human health and the environment. You have the right to breathe air free of chemicals, fumes or other airborne pollutants. The attorneys at Schroeter Goldmark & Bender can help ensure your rights are upheld. 

Air pollution generally falls into one of three categories: 
  • Outdoor exposures, including industrial emissions, field burning smoke, and odors, dust and insects from landfills or feedlots
  • Workplace exposures to chemicals such as heavy metals, chrome and welding fumes
  • Indoor exposures, including chemicals from heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and radon. 

If you think your family or your property has been exposed to a harmful air pollutant in Washington state, we would like to hear from you. Like all legal claims, toxic torts and other personal injury claims have certain time limits for filing in court, so the sooner you know your rights, the better.

Let us help you
There is no charge for us to review your potential claim. If we take your case, we do so on a contingency basis, meaning that you don’t pay our fees unless we successfully resolve the claim in your favor. Contact us for a free, confidential case review or call us at 1-800-809-2234. 


How SGB Helps Results
Our attorneys know the laws enacted to protect the environment and your health. We use sound science to prove the source of unhealthy air and the effects of exposure to air pollution. With this knowledge, we can obtain fair compensation for people whose health, safety, or property have been hurt by environmental pollution—individually or as part of a class action. 

While damages vary from case to case, our clients typically recoup compensation for lost wages, medical treatment, diminished property value, and emotional distress, also known as “pain and suffering.”
