Water—our most precious natural resource—is being threatened by a multitude of contaminants, resulting in an unprecedented water contamination crisis with local and national implications. The news is full of stories about communities that have been told their water is unsafe to drink, communities struggling with how to clean up their water supply. This is a problem that we can't ignore.
Baron & Budd, P.C. has spent 30 years pursuing justice for victims of occupational and environmental injuries, including those caused by water pollution. But now, more than ever before, we are taking on the problem of widespread water pollution in our country. American families need safe drinking water, and we are putting our law firm's strength and experience into protecting the public water supply.
A nationally recognized leader in toxic tort litigation, we represent municipalities, water providers, and private well owners seeking clean-up costs for contaminated drinking water supplies. This Web site introduces you to our work in this area and provides information about the water contamination problem.
This is a problem that could impact any one of us, and it's one we can't afford to ignore.
