In other news they just paid stockholders $1 billion in dividends to shareholders! for some odd reason the shareholder meeting was a closed door event. <br />Usually corporations are touting their success/profits. They are trying to keep theirs hushed. I sure as hell hope the judge deciding their request for limited liability has the billion dollar shareholder dividend update. <br /><br />nonnie~ You're right it is the lawyers who get ahead in class action lawsuits, and they can drag on & on. I hope they organize this right-- wrongful death cases first, then on down the line. Can you imagine how many fishermen, seafood joints & livelihoods will be impacted?<br /><br />Plus someone should litigate for the species & reefs that take the hit-- but no amount of money can reverse this mess. Just have to wait & see if the 500,000+ gallons of chemical dispersant made things worse.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-29680219987497774352010-05-17T14:38:32.111-07:002010-05-17T14:38:32.111-07:00it seems that with most class action suits, the on...it seems that with most class action suits, the only ones who get any real money are the lawyers. i hope there are criminal charges. some people need to go to jail for negligent homicide (or just plain murder) in order for the fatcats to really learn a lesson.nonnie9999http://mikk2.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-25765371723716934762010-05-17T07:07:38.949-07:002010-05-17T07:07:38.949-07:00The company who owned the oil rig that went down h...The company who owned the oil rig that went down have already collected over 400 million dollars from their insurance company but that same company wants to limit liability costs they face to about 20% of that....insane is it not!Life As I Know It Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733963455243806298noreply@blogger.com
