What Types of Property Contamination Can Lead to Legal Action?
Oilfield and gas operations can cause widespread environmental harm when safety rules are ignored or equipment fails. You may be able to file a lawsuit if your land or home was affected by various forms of contamination, such as:
- Chemical spills or leaks from drilling or fracking
- Pipeline ruptures or underground storage failures
- Improper disposal of toxic waste or wastewater
- Soil contamination from benzene, toluene, or other hydrocarbons
- Groundwater pollution affecting private wells or municipal systems
- Airborne emissions from gas flaring, venting, or equipment leaks
In some cases, contamination may not be obvious at first. Property owners often discover pollution only after testing, illness, or unexplained property damage.
Our attorneys can collaborate closely with environmental experts to identify the full extent of contamination and establish its connection to nearby oil and gas operations.
What Compensation Can I Recover for Oilfield Contamination?
Contamination can impact nearly every part of your life, from the value of your property to your family’s health. At Zehl & Associates, we’ll fight to recover every dollar you are owed under state and federal law.
You may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Soil and groundwater remediation
- Repair or replacement of damaged structures
- Loss of use or enjoyment of your property
- Decreased property value
- Relocation costs
- Lost income from affected farming, ranching, or business operations
- Pain and suffering due to illness or stress
In cases involving extreme recklessness or ongoing violations, Texas law also allows for punitive damages. These damages are meant to punish wrongdoers and discourage similar conduct in the future. Our undefeated trial lawyers know how to pursue these claims and will work hard on your behalf every step of the way.
How Long Do I Have To File a Property Contamination Claim in Texas?
Under Texas law, most property damage claims must be filed within two years of the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the contamination. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations.
However, contamination is not always obvious, especially if it occurs underground or over time. Federal rules could also come into play in some cases that may impact the time limit. For these reasons, it’s important to reach out to an attorney as soon as you can to ensure your claim is filed on time.
If you take legal action too late, you could lose your right to compensation altogether.
