Beasley Allen Files Coal Ash Spill Class Action Lawsuit on Behalf of Residents and Property Owners Affected by Disaster
Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C., has filed a class action suit on behalf of property owners damaged by the Dec. 22, 2008 Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) spill at the Kingston Fossil Plant. Located 40 miles west of Knoxville, Tenn., the plant released 1.1 billion gallons of toxin-laden sludge into a rural neighborhood when a waste storage pond retaining wall failed. The suit is filed against the TVA, the nation's largest public utility, over potentially the most significant environmental disaster since the Exxon Valdez oil spill. 2009-01-09 |
