Family awarded $3MILLION after court finds chemical exposure from fracking on land next to their home left them sick and suffering horror side effects

Severe: Emma would wake up covered in blood because of the nosebleeds she suffered which began in 2008


  • The Parr family of Decatur, Texas, first complained of falling ill in 2008 - after Aruba Petroleum began fracking operations near to their ranch
  • Bob and Lisa Parr and their daughter Emma developed nosebleeds, nausea, rashes and asthma 
  • Some of their livestock were born with deformities after the Parr's land was contaminated
  • They launched a lawsuit against the energy firm - which went to trial
  • The jury sided with the Parr family - a first in fracking lawsuits in the US

  • A Texas family have won a nearly £3 million judgement against an oil giant after claiming that fracking operations near their 40-acre ranch left them suffering severe health side-effects.
    In what is believed to be the first successful legal action against a shale operator, Bob and Lisa Parr sued Aruba Petroleum for damages for a raft of illness they and their daughter Emma have suffered from for almost six years.
    They convinced a jury that the company's hydraulic fracturing operations had contaminated their water and land in Decatur leaving them suffering nosebleeds, nausea and rashes.
