More details to this question:
I lived in a community where there was contaminated soil and water. The contamination was so bad that we had to relocate from the place we lived. There were about 358 homes that had to relocate. As an adult myself and my mother has very rare cancers and my mom is currently taking treament for the second time and my brother has really bad skin diseases that has yet to have a treament. There is information on the EPA website regarding the issue with this community ( Escambia Wood Superfunding Site). Not sure if an class action suit was done, I was only a toddler, now as an adult with unexplainable health condition and cancer.

You will need to retain a lawyer to examine this and see if there are any pending or viable class claims for this issue. As I understand it, this was all made public and the EPA took action 20+ years ago, so much of this issue revolves around your age now and when you were there. A toddler or an adult reference does nothing to establish the dates at issue. Use the find a lawyer feature for that purpose.
