Protecting Our Natural Resources
The law offices of Bell Legal Group represents clients in cases involving the following:
- The presence of heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins in lake, stream, or river sediments
- Chemicals in ground water
- Poisoned fish, deer, or fowl populations
- Defoliating trees due to pollution
- Contaminated plants and soil
- Eutrified surface waters (excessive algal production)
Putting a Price on Corporate Negligence
It’s important to hold polluters liable for actions that harm our natural resources. In instances of violation of environmental requirements, companies are responsible for injuries, illnesses, and property damage that result from their actions. Providing scientific evidence while inspecting company records, we recover costs associated with cleaning up lakes and streams, tending to sick fish, deer, and bird populations.
When You Know There’s Problem
Harm to natural resources isn’t always immediately recognizable. When dead fish begin washing up on shore or when drinking water suddenly has a peculiar odor and flavor, it’s natural to assume a chemical must be the cause. However, naturally occurring bacteria or minerals might be responsible. That’s why our lawyers work with experts in conducting tests and gathering evidence to determine the cause of contaminated natural resources.
