Texas Environmental Pollution Injury Attorneys

At Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner, representing clients who have been injured due to violations of environmental laws is serious business. The state and federal governments have enacted many laws to protect individuals and the environment from the devastating effects of pollution, including the Clean Water and Clean Air acts. Enforcement is often lax, however, and damage often occurs before agencies charged with enforcement discover violations.

If you or a loved one has been injured due to environmental pollution or other environmental law violations, call (713) 222-7211 (toll free 713-222-7211) or contact our office online to talk to an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer.

Violations include:
