There are Many Types of Water Contaminants
Understanding Different Toxic Water Claims
Water pollution can occur by accident, as the result of negligence, and as the result of purposeful actions on behalf of governments, companies and individuals.
Water contamination can happen in many ways — from industrial chemicals that seep into groundwater to oil spills or decades-old military site exposure. Each case affects families and communities differently, but all share one thing in common: lasting harm that could have been prevented.
At Chaffin Luhana, we help individuals and families pursue contaminated water claims and other toxic exposure cases that impact their health, homes, and futures. Our attorneys hold corporations and government agencies accountable so victims can recover for their injuries, medical costs, property damages, and peace of mind.
Camp Lejeune Water Contamination
For more than 30 years, veterans and their families at Camp Lejeune were exposed to high levels of toxins in their drinking water. We’re holding the VA accountable so that those affected receive the no-cost medical care and disability benefits they deserve. If you or a loved one lived at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1985, you may have a toxic exposure or contaminated water claim.
Oil Spills and Environmental Exposure
Oil spills can contaminate water and soil far beyond the spill itself — and the cleanup efforts can cause further damage to the environment, local ecosystems, and property. If you or your community has been affected by an oil spill, you may be eligible to file a contaminated water claim.
PFAS / “Forever Chemicals” Exposure
“Forever chemicals” (PFAS) are manmade substances used in countless consumer and industrial products. These chemicals don’t break down easily — they persist in the environment and in the human body. High levels of PFAS exposure have been linked to cancer, liver toxicity, infertility, and other long-term illnesses.

Other Types of Environmental & Contamination Claims We Handle
Unsafe handling of hazardous materials can cause lasting environmental damage and a variety of exposure-related claims.
Asbestos & Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer caused by long-term asbestos exposure, often from occupational or environmental contact. Claims can be brought years after exposure, once symptoms or diagnosis appear.
Hazardous Waste & Mesothelioma
Hazardous waste claims stem from improper disposal or handling of dangerous materials, such as asbestos or heavy metals. You may be eligible to bring a claim if exposure led to serious respiratory illness or cancer.
Oil Spill Claims
Oil spill claims involve contamination of land or water caused by the release of petroleum or related substances. You may have a claim if an oil spill damaged your property, harmed your health, or disrupted your livelihood.
Toxic Exposure & Illness
Toxic exposure claims arise when repeated contact with hazardous substances causes chronic illness or injury. These cases often involve workplace exposure or environmental contamination that develops over time.
