We protected our client, a manufacturer of measuring equipment, from being a part of a large lawsuit when others were to blame for a toxic spill.
When an oil delivery company overfilled an oil tank at a local school, an enormous spill ensued, causing substantial toxic contamination, which spread to a local inlet and bay. Our client manufactured the gauge located inside the oil tank that indicates the level of oil contained in the tank. The school district sued our client, the oil delivery company, and the engineering firm that designed the area surrounding the oil tank. We demonstrated to the school district that our client’s gauge was fully operational and that the other parties were negligent, resulting in a very favorable settlement for our client.
