ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & INJURIES:

WATER POLLUTION


When someone pollutes a body of water or a ground water source near your home, water quality can be affected and the health of your land and its value threatened. If your drinking water supply is affected, contaminants may pose an immediate or long-term threat to you and your family.

Some of the most common drinking water contaminants in Washington include arsenic, copper, cryptosporidium, disinfection byproducts (from the use of chlorine), lead, and nitrates. 

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.

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 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 -- 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.”
