FAQs
-
To determine if you are eligible to file a claim, you must have suffered some type of personal injury, property damage, or both as a result of the South Bay Sewage Crisis.
If you are unsure of whether you have a right to pursue legal actions, you should consult with an experienced claims lawyer right away.

Our services are contingency-based, which means that there are no upfront fees to hire us. Instead, any costs and fees related to your claim will be deducted from the settlement award that you receive. Therefore, you don't have to worry about paying us in advance, as our compensation will depend on the success of your case. If there is no recovery, you do not reimburse the firm for the expenses advanced on your behalf.
