Q: I’ve been drinking poison for 2 years. Arsenic in well water on the home I leased failed test - EPA Standards.
I'm female, in my 60's, and I don't know a polite way of stating this...I've had chronic diarreah for the last 2 years which is why I had the water tested.
What are my chances of finding an attorney who would represent me, get paid when we settle, and sue this SOB for Breach of Contract, Breach of Implied Warranty of Habitability, Unfair & Deceptive Trade Practices, violating a host of A.R.S. - Landlord/Tenant Act, and poisoning me to boot and being an all around sorry individual?
A: An Arizona attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It sounds like you're asking about an attorney who would handle your matter on a contingency basis (you mention payment upon settlement). It's difficult to say whether a firm would handle something like this on a contingency basis. You'd have to ask around by reaching out to law firms - this could be more complex than typical property & casualty matters routinely handled on a contingency basis (such as auto accidents). This looks like it could involve environmental sampling and lab analysis, and other possible expert opinions. Good luck
