Lawsuits Allege Wastewater Injection Wells Are Causing Oklahoma Earthquake Damage

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - JANUARY 26: Oklahoma Geological Survey seismologist Amberlee Darold installs a seismometer in southwest Oklahoma City, OK on January 26, 2015. She and other seismologists track earthquakes in effort to resolve a complex question. Is the dramatic uptick in earthquakes in their state related to oil and gas exploration? And if it is, what can be done to stop it without shutting down one of the state's largest economies? Lawsuits are making their way through the system alleging that injection wells, used to dispose of waste water byproducts of drilling and fracking, are causing the earthquakes. Billions of dollars are at stake as homeowners seek compensation for property damages and in some cases minor injury. (Photo by Linda Davidson / The Washington Post via Getty Images)
