ProtectUS Law
Fracking Benzene Childhood Leukemia Legal Team
ProtectUS Law is focusing its legal resources on holding companies in the oil and gas extraction industry accountable for the health effects of hydraulic fracturing causing certain health conditions, including childhood leukemia.
Studies conducted both in Pennsylvania (the “NIH Study”)[1] and Colorado (the “McKenzie Study”)[2] have found that residential proximity to oil and gas development was associated with a much greater risk for childhood hematologic cancers. These scientific studies are peer-reviewed, their findings are generally accepted by the scientific community and based on reliable scientific principles.

DO YOU LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY?
HAS YOUR ADOLESCENT CHILD BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH LEUKEMIA LYMPHOMA?
DO YOU LIVE NEAR ANY OIL AND GAS FRACKING OPERATIONS?
ProtectUS Law believes that oil and gas fracking companies have known about the potential dangers to children posed by the carcinogenic chemicals their extraction methods release into the atmosphere and inject into our groundwater resources. Yet, they continue to expose children to these chemicals they know will cause them to develop cancer. Instead, the industry is putting millions of children at risk to fuel profits.
If you live in a rural community and your adolescent child has been diagnosed with leukemia lymphoma which may have been caused by drinking groundwater or breathing air contaminated with chemicals released from an oil and gas extraction location, a fracking company may have harmed your child and contributed to their illness, our Legal Team would like to evaluate your possible case at no cost to you.
We fight for innocent rural adolescent victims, diagnosed with leukemia lymphoma,
who may have been harmed by hydraulic fracking.

“The increase in rare childhood cancers such as childhood leukemia and lymphoma over the past twenty years appear to be closely related to environmental exposure to poisons such as benzene which are a frequent discharge from fracking and refinery operations.”
