Fairmont coal prep float-sink lab workers harmed by PCE may contact our firm.

Have you been exposed to PCE while working at a coal testing lab in Fairmont, WV? Complete the form below for a complimentary evaluation of your PCE lawsuit.

The mining and processing of coal has been one of Fairmont, West Virginia's primary industries for hundreds of years, with many national coal companies operating subsidiary divisions in Fairmont and the Marion County region.

Before mined coal can be sold to energy suppliers, it must first go through testing processes in order to determine the coal’s moisture, ash, sulfur and thermal levels. These tests are conducted at coal prep (also known as “float-sink” labs).

Workers at these labs are exposed to a dangerous chemical known as PCE. This chemical, known scientifically as tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene, can cause those exposed to suffer serious and life-threatening side effects, including central nervous disorders.

The environmental attorneys at Weitz & Luxenberg are litigators with extensive courtroom experience and an in-depth understanding of the environmental laws involving PCE exposure.

The firm recently secured a landmark settlement against some of the country's biggest oil companies for contaminating public drinking water supplies with a gasoline additive known as methyl butyl tertiary ether, or MTBE. Most of those defendants agreed to pay $423 million to settle suits involving the contamination of 153 public and private drinking water systems nationally.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to exposure to PCE, we may be able to help. Please fill out the form below for a free legal evaluation of your potential case.
