I spoke with Craig Ribbens, who is one of the insureds’ long-time tenants. Mr. Ribbens was cooperative and offered to help in any way that he could. However, the information that he provided was not very beneficial to our defense. The house that the plaintiffs rented is one of five that the insureds own in a small compound. Mr. Ribbens informed us that he did not know the plaintiffs, but heard from other tenants that they moved out because there was mold throughout their house. Although he never saw the mold, and has seen none in the house that he rents, he occasionally smells mold in his house in the past.…
We are all aware of the illnesses that are developing in our community. Obviously, this is not genetic because it is attacking various members of our community and has done personal research to link the illnesses to our surrounding environment. I have found information in which the community should be aware. After extensive research, I have discovered the symptoms are because of the gas company not following proper procedures while digging in our community. I have spent several months coming to the solution and connecting the problem to the gas company. I first expecting it was something in the water because it seems to be affecting more people in neighborhoods closer to the drilling sites. I am afraid to inform everyone that it will be in all our drinking water before soon.…
As a resident in Kentucky, I leave around some empty land out in the country side. Recently, I heard about KGA (Kentucky Gas Association) has bought the land around my property. The drilling started in June of 2013. At first, I didn’t know what was happening; I called KGA and asked what the company was doing. They explained that they found oil reservoirs around my property and they have commenced the Fracking process. At first I didn’t think anything of it until, my water started tasting funny. It looked clear, but the taste was off. After a while I had become sick of the water, so I went to a local grocery store and bought bottled water. My skin became irritated and my eyes burnt. I had no idea of what was going on. I went to my local clinic to make sure that nothing was seriously wrong. After, some tests a week or so later they found Hydrochloric acid, and formaldehyde residue. The doctors told me my lungs, eyes, and skin burnt because they were irritated. After, a few questions I found out that:…

The issue that arises in this plot is whether the conglomerates are negligent for the contamination of the water supplies of the town, and if their negligence contributed to the injuries (leukemia) of the multiple plaintiffs. After finding that there has been a breach of duty, one must consider if the defendant’s conduct was the cause-in-fact of the…
Suppose you live in a new suburban community. It offers all the amenities and benefits of a tight-knit small community, with the benefits of living close to the big city. Some years pass, and several children and adults in the community start developing extensive and similar illnesses. You think this is clearly not a case of genetics, and become suspicious that something must have gone wrong in the development planning and execution of your community. You start researching and investigating possible causes for the illnesses plaguing the community and, upon digging further, find out that the gas company’s practices may be to blame for the calamity. You decide, at that point, to spread the word around your community about your findings so that everyone can unite in a fight for justice.…

It is with great concern that I am writing this letter to address the public health of our community. Recently, there have been a number of children and adults who have strangely started to develop similar illnesses. The one thing each of these people has in common is that they all live right here in our community. My feels were that these sudden illnesses were not a matter of coincidence but instead a matter or poor practice. This feeling has proven to be accurate. Upon further investigation, it is has come to light that the reckless policies of our local gas company are endangering the health of our community. Contamination testing done on our water supply as well as soil tests shows extremely high amounts of a toxic chemical that is used by the gas company. This chemical that the company is releasing into our community has been linked to various illnesses that are similar to the ones experienced by our citizens. Interviews with two former employees of the gas company reveal that they were aware of this chemical leaking into our community water supply but the issue continually got swept under the rug. It was these employees belief that the company felt there was not enough of the toxic chemical being leaked to cause health problems. They are not aware as to how our local gas company came up with this irresponsible solution but we are aware as to how it has caused life-threatening illness among our community. Management at the company had no response when asked if they were aware of contamination so it is apparent that we must speak out as a community. Although not all of you have been affected by this shocking behavior, you are bound to be in the future unless we take the appropriate steps. We must unite together and demand changes in the company’s policies so that they are no longer poisoning the citizens of our tight knit community. We shall not give up this fight until we have reached a solution that keeps our health the…
A geopolitical community is the most traditional view of a community. It consists of a geographical community and a political community. It is geopolitical because a geographical boundary is usually what is followed when creating a political boundary. An example would be a river that separates two counties. In my community, the Cooper River separates Berkley county South Carolina and Dorchester county South Carolina.…
I currently reside in Denver County, Colorado. I have chosen to assess and analyze this community for this assignment. Denver, Colorado is located east of the Eastern Foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver County is centrally located within the city of Denver, Colorado and includes the Denver International Airport located north-east of the city. The elevation of this county is 5,277 feet and therefore is nicknamed the “Mile-High City”. Denver County contains 154.9 square miles of land with a large amount of parks and rivers, of which 1.4 miles is water. (City and County of Denver, 2011).…
