FPC attorneys successfully represented individuals and businesses damaged by leaks from underground petroleum pipelines. FPC attorneys have represented property owners whose real property has been contaminated, resulting in diminished property values, and requiring millions of dollars in environmental cleanup and remediation when underground pipelines ruptured. FPC attorneys have litigated against some of the nation’s largest pipeline companies and have expertise in investigating the cause of underground utility failures. Underground pipelines and utilities are governed by federal regulations, which require pipeline companies to perform inspections and repair their pipelines under strict rules and requirements, which are oftentimes not followed. Oftentimes, underground pipeline leaks go unchecked, unmonitored, and go unnoticed until there is significant and widespread environmental contamination.
