Texas Personal Injury Case Against BP To Go To Court Despite Other Settlements

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

Following a tragic plant explosion at a British Petroleum facility, several of those affected by the incident are refusing to settle. While many of those who have suffered injuries or been affected by deaths as a result of the accident have settled with BP, Eva Rowe, whose parents died in the accident, wants to take the case to trial. Hundreds of people filed suit against the petroleum company after the explosion in Texas City, Texas. Most have settled, but some choose to pursue a Texas personal injury suit, citing a desire to show the world BP’s practices.
15 people died in the plant explosion, while 170 were injured. Investigations later determined numerous mistakes made by the company, including poor management and maintenance, faulty chemical sensors, and improperly placed trailers and work spaces. BP has already settled more than 500 Texas personal injury cases, having set aside $1.2 billion for that purpose.
