Were You Harmed BY PERC Exposure in a Coal Testing Lab in Logan, WV

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

The mining and processing of coal is one of the largest industries in the state. Logan County is the second largest coal producing county in the state of West Virginia.

Before mined coal from Logan or any of the mines in Logan County 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 “sink float” labs).

Workers at these labs are exposed to a dangerous chemical known as PERC. 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 PERC 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.
