Berkeley County Water Contamination Lawsuit
Skinner attorneys are suing manufacturers in a lawsuit after residents of Berkeley County were unknowingly exposed to harmful chemicals in their drinking water.
The City of Martinsburg municipal water was contaminated with PFAS from fire fighting foam used by Shepherd Field Air National Guard Base over many decades. Skinner Accident & Injury Lawyers filed a lawsuit against 3M, Dupont, and others for damages to residents who drank or used the water before 2016. Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS accumulate in the body and pose health risks. The lawsuit focuses on the following health conditions:
- Kidney Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Thyroid Disease/Cancer
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Liver Cancer
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with these conditions and regularly drank Martinsburg water before 2016, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Share your details with our team today.
