We are the Right Lawyers to handle all of your Environmental Needs.
Environmental law is not a single law, but a body of intertwining, overlapping and sometimes conflicting Federal, state and local environmental law and regulations designed to protect the air, soil and water of the environment, the health of people and their property from environmental hazards. Enforcement of environmental law or regulation is the duty of Federal, state or local environmental health and safety agencies. However when contamination does occur, the person affected must usually seek restitution for their injury, loss of a loved one, medical bills, lost wages or property damage by hiring environmental lawyers and filing a lawsuit.
Because environmental law can be complex and the companies who cause these hazards often have excellent attorneys and a lot of money available for fighting claims, those who suffer contamination of their property or adverse health conditions caused by exposure to environmental hazards need representation by Napoli Bern Ripka LLP, an experienced environmental law firm.
Despite environmental law, or in many cases due to a lack of it, people in America are suffering health conditions such as environmental cancer from exposure to environmental hazards such as asbestos, chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides and radiation. This has caused Americans to have increasing environmental health and safety concerns about their communities.
The emergence of a cancer cluster or disease cluster, an occurrence of a certain disease in a group of people, an area or period of time that is higher than the expected number of cases, can cause a panic. Sometimes an investigation of the disease cluster or cancer cluster defines an environmental hazard, such as chemical contamination of drinking water, as the cause. Sometimes, it can be difficult to prove the link between an environmental cancer or disease and a specific environmental hazard. That is why the environmental law firm of Napoli Bern Ripka LLP utilizes professionals in the medical, scientific, industry and environmental fields when investigating and compiling evidence for a lawsuit.
Environmental hazards can cause serious illnesses or even death among children and adults living in areas where there is contamination by spillage, seepage, emissions, runoff or improper disposal of waste, chemicals, toxins, radiation, biologicals or heavy metals. Industries where this can occur include, but are not limited to, mining, oil and gas exploration, energy, manufacturing, farming, transportation and storage, waste management, and development.
If you believe you have an environmental cancer or that an environmental hazard caused your medical condition, it is important that you seek out immediate medical attention. It is important that you keep meticulous records of all the doctors you visit, tests performed and all the treatments received in case you need to pursue a lawsuit, as your environmental lawyers will need these documents.
You can trust the experience of Napoli Bern Ripka LLP. Our environmental lawyers recently represented 23 Long Island water districts that suffered contamination of their water wells by Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive, after gasoline spills and seepage polluted the aquifer, securing a settlement of nearly $52 million from the big oil companies responsible.
A current focus of the law firm is representation of people with health conditions related to environmental hazards from natural gas and oil exploration, including those affected by water well or property contamination by natural gas migration and hydraulic fracturing related toxins. The firm is also representing people suffering environmental cancer or other illness related to radiation exposure, such as residents near the Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) facility in Erwin, TN.
