Petroleum Spills Claims Lawyers
in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming
Our lawyers have handled litigation resulting from spills of petroleum product during transportation, off-loading and on-loading. Spills are often due to overfills, faulty connections, or inattentive filling. Once spilled on the surface, the nature and extent of the spill contamination determines the extent of the subsurface contamination.
Petroleum spills, if not properly remediated or contained, can enter the ground water or migrate to adjoining property in a subsurface area and cause contamination. Further, fumes from spills may adversely effect the health of workers and guests. Often a petroleum plume is slow moving, and contamination may not show up off-site for several days, weeks, or even months.
If you or a loved one has been exposed to or injured by the contamination from a petroleum spill, you may be entitled to compensation. If you are a property owner whose property has been contaminated by a petroleum spill, we can provide you with representation to protect you and your property and obtain compensation for damages caused by the contamination. Please call or email Burg Simpson for a free evaluation of your case.
If you are an owner of a company that allegations or claims have been made concerning a petroleum spill, we can counsel and advise you concerning your rights, obligations, and potential liabilities and, if you have been sued, we can represent your interests through trial if necessary.
