Groundwater Contamination

In many instances in the past, insurance carriers simply accepted the allegation that their insured was the source of contamination based on the proximity of the insured's property to the location where the contamination was first discovered. These allegations were usually based on the findings of an engineering firm retained by other involved parties who unfortunately had their own client's interests foremost in the interpretation of the available data.

Groundwater contamination cases can be extremely complex, with a number of potential sources of contamination. If your insured has been targeted as a potentially responsible party in a groundwater contamination incident, you need the assistance of seasoned professionals who are familiar with the local geology and the movement of contaminants through the subsurface to confirm whether or not your insured is a source of the contamination and whether there are other possible sources.
