Pittsburgh Fracking Water Pollution Attorneys

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a relatively new method of extracting natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania. But the detrimental effects of fracking on the environment are already becoming apparent.

In a recent case in the Pittsburgh area, a family sued a mining company claiming their water supply had become polluted due to fracking in the area. The company paid the family $750,000 to settle the case and admitted no fault. This case highlights, however, the dangers of fracking and the impact fracking can have on the health and safety of families throughout Pennsylvania.
