Environmental Negligence

Companies Are Responsible for Keeping Your Environment Clean

[pollution photo]Farming and ranching is an American tradition. Millions of acres of once pristine land have been destroyed by irresponsible companies that dump or discharge hazardous and toxic materials. This type of activity involves the pollution of air, water, and land. Often, materials that are improperly stored or dumped migrate into streams, lakes, and other waterways. This negligent activity involves the destruction of land and may result in disease and illness. Examples of this wrongful conduct include the dumping of hazardous materials on farm and ranch lands by oil companies, waste disposal companies, well servicing companies, and mining companies.

If land has been damaged by pipeline leaks, dumping, or destruction of the surface estate, you may be entitled to pursue damages for remediation and nuisance. These damages may be substantial. At Wigington Rumley, L.L.P., we seek to preserve our land for future generations. We stand ready to assist you.
