A leaking residential heating oil tank in New Jersey can trigger far more than an environmental cleanup – it can derail a real estate transaction, create significant financial liability, and subject homeowners to a complex web of state regulatory requirements. This in-depth program provides practitioners with a roadmap for managing these matters from start to finish, including the first steps that should be undertaken to protect your client until the tank has been removed and contamination addressed. Join us to learn how to respond quickly and effectively when a leak is discovered and avoid common pitfalls. Register today!
Topics include:
- Understanding the mechanics of a leak – the what’s and how’s
- Determining how damages are measured, including cleanup costs, property damage, diminution in value, and other potential losses
- Preparing for an initial client intake
- Identifying what agencies need to be contacted and require notifications
- Handling insurance coverage issues and identifying sources of funding
- Retaining the right tank removal company
- Examining whether litigation is necessary and, if so, who to sue
