Karl Truman Represents Jeffersonville Water Contamination Victims

Louisville lawyer Karl Truman has announced his legal team has filed a suit regarding the recent Census Bureau water contamination.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 30, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Louisville personal injury lawyer Karl Truman has announced that the Karl Truman Injury Law Office has filed a lawsuit against a local dry cleaners for contaminating the water in Jeffersonville, Ind. The Census Bureau building obtains its drinking water from ground wells which have been contaminated by a chemical used to dry clean clothes. The source of the chemical has been traced to a dry cleaners across the street.

The suit was filed on behalf of 30 plaintiffs after the Census Union announced concerns that the employees have been exposed to a dry cleaning chemical in the drinking water - leading to long-term health risks including cancer.

According to an article in The Courier Journal, The Census Bureau was instructed by The Indiana Department of Environmental Management in September 2013 to take action after four consecutive test results showed a volatile, likely carcinogenic man-made compound in the water - tetrachloroethylene. According to testing in April 2014, the water continues to exceed the federal maximum contaminant level for tetrachloroethylene.

"The employees of the U.S. Census Bureau's National Processing Center have been drinking contaminated water for years putting their health at risk," said Louisville lawyer Karl Truman. "We have been contacted by many clients who now have cancer and liver disease we believe is linked to this chemical. The companies responsible for this contamination need to be held accountable."
