GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Thousands of people fearing they were exposed to toxic benzene from a leak at a BP facility in Texas have filed a class-action lawsuit against the oil company.People waited outside office buildings, attended meetings and lined office hallways in the Texas City area [a suburb of Houston] to sign on to a $10 billion lawsuit filed in federal court in Galveston, Texas, the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.
And I'm expecting a BP Gulf oil catastrophe class action suit. Of course, there won't be any money left if they don't hurry.
The article doesn't say who the lawyers are for the case, but I'm wondering of Houston's own Joe Jamail is involved. If he's on it, I may have to take off some work time to go watch.
UPDATE: Nope. Tony Buzbee of Friendswood.
