What is an Environmental Injury?

Broadly explained, an environmental injury claim is a type of legal cause of action brought by a person (or multiple people) who suffered harm due to exposure to hazardous substances or dangerous environmental conditions. In other words, it is a tort claim. To bring a successful claim on these grounds, an injured victim must prove that a responsible party caused or allowed the environmental hazard and that the exposure led to tangible harm (such as a physical injury). Notably, environmental injury cases in Indiana often rely on scientific evidence.

Notably, an exposure could occur in the workplace, at a residential property, or at a commercial location.
• Contaminated Drinking Water: Contaminated water is very dangerous. It can cause terrible harm to innocent people. These claims involve exposure to unsafe levels of lead, PFAS, bacteria, or other pollutants in a public/private water supply. 
• Air Pollution Injury Cases: Air pollution cases focus on respiratory harm, cardiovascular harm, and/or other medical complications caused by industrial emissions, toxic fumes, or particulate matter. These claims often require environmental monitoring data. 
• Mold Exposure: Mold exposure is also very dangerous. These types of claims arise when property owners or landlords fail to address moisture intrusion or water damage that leads to toxic mold growth. Prolonged exposure can cause serious harm. 
• Hazardous Waste Disposal: These claims involve injuries or property damage caused by improper storage, transport, or disposal of hazardous waste. It can be a serious issue  because contamination may affect soil, groundwater, or even nearby residential areas.
• Oil Spills: Oil spill claims involve harm caused by the release of crude oil or refined petroleum products into water or onto land. It is a very serious problem because contamination may damage ecosystems and cause direct health effects.
