Legal actions relating to Gulf oil disaster about to begin
Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Los Angeles Times: Carol J. Williams reports a federal panel in Boise is about to begin the process of deciding where class action lawsuits relating to the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster will be heard and which judges will hear them. “The vast majority of the suits have been filed by fishermen, charter operators, restaurants and property owners claiming financial losses after the disaster shut down fisheries and pummeled coastal tourism,” she writes. “Families of the 11 men killed in the explosion have filed wrongful-death suits. Seafood processors and marinas have sued over their dwindling revenues.”
