Kentucky Residents File Oil Spill Lawsuit
KENTUCKY....
Two Kentucky residents, Larry O'Bryan and Stephen E. Ernst, who own property along the Gulf Coast filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Louisville against eight companies, including BP PLC. O'Bryan and Ernst, listed in the suit as owning rental property along the coast, are seeking class-action status,
claiming the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill has devalued their property. A Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank after an explosion on April 20th, and more than 100 suits have been filed. BP America chairman and president Lamar McKay told a Senate committee this week that the company had paid out $15 million in claims through Tuesday.
