Environmental law aims to balance the environmental concerns of the general public with the rights of businesses and government to use their property. However, specific state and local laws reflect individual policies and priorities. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency maintains pollution control standards outlined in the Illinois Environmental Protection Act. In addition to that act and federal regulations, Illinois environmental law is also governed by acts specific to chemicals, clean air, waste management and other related activities.
An environmental attorney can help you if you are the victim of environmental misconduct by a business or the government. For example if you believe groundwater, used for drinking and bathing, has been contaminated by hazardous materials by a nearby industrial plant, you may be entitled to not only cleanup of the water, but also compensation for a loss in property value. Environmental attorneys can provide assistance in navigating your rights as a property owner and resident.
The attorneys that you will on our website classified as helping plaintiffs in environmental law cases often take cases on a contingency basis which means that they only get paid if they are successful. Because of this as well as the fact that these are difficult, time intensive cases, these lawyers can be very selective in deciding which cases to take on.
