What is the name of your state? Connecticut/Rhode Island
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but here goes.
Recently my father and younger brother were swimming in a river nearby. They came home, both complaining about chest pain and flu-like symptoms. Recently I found out that a local chemical plant has been dumping high amounts of waste containg the substance phenol, which is highly poisonous, in the river where they were swimming. I wondered if there was any damage to their lungs or livers could there possibly be a way to sue for hospital bills or damages? I'm not much up on legal matters or terms. Any help would be greatly apprieciated.
Here is a link to the newspaper article for more information:
