HAZARDOUS WASTE

State and federal law provide strong protections against hazardous waste pollution. If your property has been polluted with any oil, gas, or other hazardous material or is threatened with such pollution, the polluting party can be forced under the law to clean or prevent the pollution and to pay any costs that you have spent in cleaning the pollutant yourself. Additionally, you have a right to be compensated for any sickness or other damage that you or your family have suffered as a consequence of the pollution.

Do not make the common mistake of relying solely on a board of health or environmental protection agency to address your hazardous waste pollution problem. While these boards and agencies serve an important purpose and must be informed of any hazardous waste pollution that you witness, they generally lack the resources to enforce the law with sufficient vigor. If you are a victim of hazardous waste pollution, you need to call a private attorney. Call Attorney Vander Salm. He will fight for your right to the restoration of your property and to full compensation for your damage.
