MTBE Lawsuit - Information You Need to Fight Back Against Big Oil
There is a serious danger involved with the contamination of MTBE. If you or someone you know has been affected by MTBE pollution, or your property has been impacted by it, you may be entitled to a lawsuit.
MTBE is produced in very large quantities (in 1999, that number stood at more than 200,000 barrels per day for the United States) and is used, almost exclusively, as a fuel component in motor gasoline.
Oil companies had used MTBE as a fuel additive despite knowing how much damage it could do to groundwater. The scary truth is, if MTBE leaks out of its tank, the entire water supply is rendered undrinkable.
MTBE is a volatile, flammable and colorless liquid that is relatively soluble in water. When in groundwater, MTBE moves more quickly than other fuel components. (California Air Resources Board, 2004)
MTBE lawyers are helping victims of MTBE contamination force Big Oil to pay for MTBE cleanup. If your groundwater has been compromised due to MTBE contamination, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the polluters.
We'll worry about the legal deadlines; you focus on clean water. Our short form below will start the process.
