ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & INJURIES:

PROPERTY CONTAMINATION


Property or soil contamination—particularly from industrial emissions, illegal dumping, farm operations and toxic mold—threatens human health and the environment. Children are especially vulnerable to toxic exposures from soil, like lead and arsenic.

Some of the most common soil contaminants in Washington include arsenic, lead, PCBs, pesticide residue, solvents and industrial waste. Toxic mold, a dangerous indoor property contaminant, is also a concern in our damp climate. 

If you think your family or your property has been exposed to a harmful contaminant 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 know how to use sound science to prove the source of ground contamination and the effects of toxic exposures. With this knowledge, we can obtain fair compensation for people whose health, safety, or property have been hurt by environmental contamination.

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.”
