In April, a major cancer-causing chemical called Benzene leaked from a BP refinery in Texas City. Unbeknownst to many local residents, this harmful chemical can cause a myriad of symptoms that often require medical attention.
Upon an investigation by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the leak was called it an "excessive emissions event." The agency reported that the leak was likely the result of poor maintenance at the BP refinery.
Change is rapid in most of life, and the legal world is no different. Every time the legislature meets or a judge makes a ruling, it can have an effect on the legal system. Keeping up is a challenge, but, at our law firm, that is a part of the job -- and we take it seriously.
In this blog we will explore news items and other topics that are of interest in our areas of the law -- personal injury, criminal defense, family law and commercial law. You are welcome to read and comment on the posts on our blog.
