ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & INJURIES
When someone pollutes the water, soil, or air, workers may become unable to do their jobs, and families can be forced out of their homes or lose a lifelong investment in their property. Worse, some toxic chemicals pose an immediate danger to human health, while other contaminants accumulate in the body and cause long-term diseases. Children are especially vulnerable.
Determining the cause of your health symptoms can be challenging. It may be worth having a specialist provide you with a second opinion to determine if you have an environmental illness.
At Schroeter Goldmark & Bender, we know the laws enacted to protect the environment and your health. We use sound science to prove the source of contamination and the effects of toxic exposures. With this knowledge, we can obtain fair compensation for people whose health, safety, or property have been damaged by environmental contamination - individually, or as part of a class action.
If you believe your family or your property has been exposed to a harmful contaminant, 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.
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.” Our environmental attorneys operate on a contingency basis. That means that we don't get paid unless we recover damages on your behalf.
