Environmental torts or environmental damage cases are becoming more and more common. Dwyer, Donovan & Pendleton has successfully represented a number of clients who have suffered environmental damages.  Our cases have dealt with oil, gas and chemical spills as well as other forms of contamination and damage.  Clients we have represented include municipal entities, such as the Plymouth Water & Sewer District, individuals, condominium associations, and business entities.

It is important for clients to understand that in many environmental actions the defendant is liable to the injured party for multiple damages. For example, if your property is contaminated by an oil or gas spill you are entitled under state law to one and one half times your actual damages. Representing clients in these actions requires experience in dealing with the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, and State and Federal Courts.

If you, your property, or your business has been damaged, please contact us so that we can begin to assist you. Please feel free to contact Attorney Pendleton by email at jpendleton@granitestatelawyers.com or by telephone at (800) 783-5770
