Press Release Port Arthur, Texas - A lawsuit was filed today in State District Court in Jefferson County, Texas on behalf of 323 current or past property owners and tenants who suffered and sustained personal injuries of various severities due to the Union Carbide/TPC Pipeline Explosion on October 17, 2007. Its effects have been devastatingly clear: the death of a 16 year old male youth, whose mother contends that he died from the explosion’s aftermath. Local officials released available monitoring data, supporting the inclusive adverse impact of the explosion on the residents. Based on his research and investigation since the explosion, Plaintiffs’ attorney, Ronnie Jones, Attorney and Counselor at Law, Austin, Texas, filed suit on behalf of his clients seeking the recovery of several million dollars in damages for personal injuries to his clients. According to Mr. Jones, “The City of Port Arthur has a long and well documented history of explosions and toxic emissions events that have caused injuries and fatalities, public evacuation, property losses, ecosystem damage, and public concern about the commitment to public safety of the involved company.” Jones, who himself was raised in Port Arthur, feels it is time to increase awareness about the potential for consequences of runaway chemical reactions that release highly toxic vapors into nearby communities. Through the lawsuit, Mr. Jones and his clients intend to raise awareness on a local and national level about pipeline threats to Small Town America in the Gulf Coast Area as part of a campaign involving the community’s right-to-know, community clean-up efforts, and clean air initiatives - all aimed at chemical accident prevention. “We know that injuries resulting from the aftermath of pipeline explosions affects more than just the person injured; his or her family suffers as well as the community-at-large, and we must look for new opportunities to manage the integrity of pipelines and raise the bar on pipeline safety,” stated Mr. Jones.
