Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a commonly used practice in Pennsylvania to extract natural gas from underground. However, the process is controversial and many believe it is hazardous to the environment. What many people don’t realize, however, is how dangerous fracking is for the people who work on the sites where the process occurs.

The fracking accident attorneys at Lundy Law are well aware that fracking is fraught with serious accidents, many of which lead to serious injury and even death.

Contact Fracking Accident Attorneys
