Overview

Our experienced environmental law team is committed to holding polluters accountable and securing justice for victims of water contamination.  Call 732-355-1311 today. You don’t pay anything unless you win.

Common Water Contaminants That Cause Harm

Our firm handles personal injury claims involving a wide range of water pollutants, including:
  • PFAS and PFOS (“Forever Chemicals”)

These synthetic chemicals resist breaking down in the environment and are linked to cancer, thyroid disease, liver damage, and reproductive issues.

  • Benzene

A known carcinogen, benzene exposure through water can lead to leukemia, bone marrow damage, and immune system disorders.

  • Gasoline and Petroleum Byproducts

Leaks from underground tanks or pipelines can contaminate groundwater, exposing people to harmful hydrocarbons and VOCs.

  • Heavy Metals (e.g., Lead, Arsenic)

Often found in aging pipes or contaminated soil, these metals are especially dangerous to children and pregnant women.

  • Nitrates and Agricultural Runoff

Excess fertilizer and manure can seep into water supplies, leading to methemoglobinemia (“blue baby syndrome”) and other serious conditions.


Water Contamination

Our Legal Approach

At Lieberman Blecher & Sinkevich, we use a multidisciplinary approach that includes:

  • Working with environmental engineers and hydrologists to trace the source of contamination
  • Consulting medical professionals to document and link health effects to exposure
  • Filing lawsuits under both state and federal environmental laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act, CERCLA, and local nuisance statutes

We build every case with precision and personal attention to maximize results for our clients.  Drinking water contamination, including PFAS contamination, requires serious attention.

  • Children and infants
