He will represent you for 40% of the settlement without any money down. Pretty standard stuff.

Good Evening,

This message is from Tony Buzbee.


Y'all wanna get paid? Let's get rich, biches.

Quote:

If you (or someone you know) was affected by this tragedy, please know that we are here and absolutely willing to help.


Willing to help you poor souls so I can get paid like someone backing a 2-fiddy into a ATM.

Quote:

We have received many calls, direct messages and emails from those impacted, asking us what to do.



Y'all all wanna get paid so y'all know whoda call, don't ya.

Quote:

At this point, if you (or someone you know) is in a home that was damaged, the most important thing you can do is to document the damage with pictures right away.


Get your ass outside with a hammer and crow bar and start beating the **** outta your house and car, then take some pictures. And run your ass to the CVS to get a neck brace before they sell out. Might want someone to slap you around a bit too. It helps.

Quote:

Our firm has handled many of these types of cases, both against plant owners and insurance companies and we are already representing people in this event.

Drove by there today. Right next to it is a granite counter place. Wonder how many pieces broke.

Main reason is to advertise for the attorney

But in at least one of cases, they got a preliminary injunction which will get them an observation spot in the investigation to the cause
The latest injunction hearing was right before mine this morning. They got an extension for 14 days to be present when any City inspection or investigation goes on. It seemed like it wasn't much of a battle any more. ATF finished and left the site to HFD, who says they are done and don't plan on taking anything off the site. News cameras were there, but it was pretty much a non-event.

Proud to report the Dirty Branch has gone one whole week without a massive explosion. Might hit Blue Lagoon later and toast to our surprising success.

Meth lab explosions are usually confined to garage doors bulging and hood rats tweaking. Y'all may not feel them all.

I see the Congressss Wooomannn has chimed in with totally redundant demands of a federal investigation (OSHA, EPA, ATF already on the case). SJL demands action by feds

""My immediate bill will be introduced this week, would require all these entities within 500 feet of urban or rural housing to report to local jurisdiction all chemicals to determine or assess if they're flammable and toxic,""

There are already reporting requirments which are based on amounts and types of chemcials with no distance requirments from certain types of properties. In fact the company's report of their possession of Propylene on site was already filed and publically available (took less than 5 minutes to find the info) and the company's Tier II report that is already supplied to local fire departments and Local Emergency Planning Committees is available upon request to the general public. Anyone want to hazard a guess that she already knows this? I guess SJL has to be seen doing something or at least a good excuse for camera time. Though I would hazard a guess that it was the first time she has been in that part of the her district.

I understand the frustration of residents and small buisness owners to get answers to their questions, but this is a mess, both literally and legally and answers will not be quick in coming and SJL demanding redudant actions is not going to make it happen any faster. In fact SJL posturing may slow it down by diverting resources to deal with her office.

What a waste of O2.

Without knowing the law, I could see the argument against it being a class action lawsuit. If the court addresses these claims on "first come first serve basis", then the folks that filed at 12:30 yesterday don't want to go from first in line to just one of hundreds in a class action suit.
I would imagine that the residual liability from all of the homeowners, etc. means that the limits of any policy Watson had would be busted.

So they'll stick the company in chapter 11 and effectively end the race to the courthouse.
called that one.

I hope Mr and Mrs Watson enjoy their trip to Bogota. I hear it is nice this time of year. I am sure a sky cap can help them carry all those duffel bags.

First day went well

Quote:

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur began by telling a courtroom packed with lawyers for explosion victims that he'd "rarely been angrier" than he was upon seeing the motion filed by attorneys for Watson Grinding & Manufacturing and Watson Valve, which asked that Watson be allowed to swiftly pay off the company's bank loan in a discounted $3 million lump sum with insurance money. The implication of the company's emergency motion, according to the judge, was that Watson executives were putting their own needs ahead of residents harmed in the blast as well as two workers and a local resident who died as a result of the early morning explosion.

I have no idea of the financials of Watson, but if the bank is secured (I assume they have a first lien over much of the business), then they will get their's before the others. Maybe paying them off at a discount is in the best interest of all the creditors - might possibly provide more funds for everyone else.

Now, their timing of the motion was poor. They could have waited a few weeks for the Judge to see what a mess he has on his hands and then make an educated ruling.

The Motion likely eventually gets granted. It's the "emergency" nature of it without letting any other creditor have a chance to be heard is what bothered Isgur so much.

did the insurance + bankruptcy protect their personal finances?

and they are (or are not) living comfortably 5 years later

The same voice guy who dose CSB videos also dose the "Donald Trump is a Russian Puppet" political ads. Or "Ted Cruz will kill your kids"

That's why you know him.

Dude is a champ.
