Representation For Commercial Property Owners

Periconi, LLC, represents clients facing liability for oil and gasoline spills due to:

Because of the urgency involved in conducting an immediate cleanup effort, the New York Environmental Protection and Spill Compensation Fund (also known as the Oil Spill Fund) often provides funds to cover initial cleanup costs for a New York oil and gasoline spill. This money is not a grant. The responsible party must reimburse all funds applied toward cleaning up the spill. Owners of commercial properties and apartment buildings often have insurance that may cover all or a portion of the cleanup expenses, but individual homeowners’ policies typically do not cover cleanup of petroleum spills on the insured’s property, though they sometimes do on off-site impacted properties. Oil or gas spills that involve insurance policies almost always go to litigation. The litigators of Periconi, LLC, aggressively represent their clients in court on these matters.

Holding Wrongdoers Liable

If an oil spill or gas leak has been caused by an oil supply or heating system repair company or another third party, Periconi, LLC, will work to hold that party responsible in a cost recovery suit or contribution action.
