Fracking Contamination Lawsuits
Many residents that live in areas where fracking occurs have experienced health problems, possibly due to contaminated underground drinking water. Many people also reported foul smelling drinking water. While oil and gas companies maintain that fracking is safe for the environment, more and more evidence is coming forward showing that hazardous chemicals can be released during the drilling process.
If a company is using the fracking process near your home or business, pay attention to the quality of water used for drinking or to hydrate vegetation. Even if the fracking occurs a mile away, underground waters can become contaminated quickly with benzene, methane, chromium, ethane or other toxic substances. These hazardous materials can destroy the environment, making your family sick and destroying the value of your personal or business property.
