Compensation for Land Use
When a national gas company approaches you regarding the use of your land, they will offer you a lease that is favorable to their company. If landowners know to ask for particular parts of the lease to be changed, the company may be willing to change them, but you have to know what to ask for. Before you sign anything, make sure your contract is reviewed by a lawyer who understands mineral rights and oil drilling. We are prepared to help you get fair compensation. We will advise you to the most profitable and beneficial strategies when companies offer to buy or lease your land.
Compensation for Damage
If an oil or gas company places structures and equipment on your property, it will greatly affect the value of your property. In most cases, they are willing to pay more than their initial offer for damages caused in the process. We will investigate your case and claim, informing you what the gas company means and what your rights and options are. We provide the same counsel for individuals whose land has been damaged by coal companies through longwall mining or subsidence damages. Your rights are protected by statutes in the state of West Virginia — we will make sure any release you sign is in accordance with state laws and your best interest.
