A couple has been awarded $3 M for contaminated ground water from tracking.
There are clear analogies to this case. For years the cigarette companies successfully beat back similar cases claiming health loss or death from smoking. Once the plaintiffs finally won a verdict, it was all downhill for the tobacco companies. The same thing happened with asbestos finally forcing Johns Manville into bankruptcy.
This may be the first, pardon the pun, fracture in the fracking story.
