Current Cases of Interest
- ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION – A POISONED CHURCH – Mount Canaan Full Gospel Church v. Kerr-McGee, et. al., Jefferson Co. AL, 06-CV-2315
Kerr-McGee operated a bulk petroleum facility on property adjacent to the property of Mount Canaan Full Gospel Church and its school. In August 2000, the state environmental agency determined that a petroleum release occurred on the Kerr-McGee property which resulted in soil and air contamination of the church’s property. During the ensuing years, due to continued concealment and inadequate remediation efforts by Kerr-McGee, the contamination of the church’s property (including school) has reached toxic levels which are dangerous and harmful to exposed humans. As a result, the school has been closed and the church employees and congregation will have to relocate.
- IONIZATION SMOKE DETECTORS – 90% OF RESIDENTIAL SMOKE DETECTORS WILL NOT TIMELY WARN OF THE MOST DANGEROUS HOUSE FIRES – Pat Holland v. Kidde, Inc., et. al., USDC, ND Ala., 05-CV-0325
A young mother died in a house fire when smoke detectors failed to give a timely warning. All of the smoke detectors were of the ionization-only type, which detector manufacturers have long known is extremely insensitive to slow-smoldering fires that may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Slow-smoldering fires are the single most deadly type of house fire, and smoke detectors should be most suited to detect these types of fires as they tend to develop over a long period of time and only reach life-threatening levels after people have gone to sleep. Alternative technology has existed for over thirty years (and is sold by the defendants) which gives a vastly superior response to these slow-smoldering fires. Despite the availability of this safer technology, the defendants have continued to sell the ionization-only detector as an adequate stand-alone fire detection device without adequately informing the American public of the differences in technology.

- IMPROPERLY INSTALLED INTERSTATE BARRIER CUSHION SLICES THROUGH TRUCK CAB KILLING THE DRIVER – Usher v. Blalock & Sons, Inc., Knox Co. TN, C-04-124504
A 32-year-old truck driver, while driving in heavy fog, struck the highway median. The metal barrier cushion, designed to avert vehicles away from the median, was unfastened and sliced through the cab, killing the trucker instantly. The Defendant construction company that installed the metal barrier cushion had failed to fasten the crash cushion. The medical examiner’s report showed that the trucker had only minor abrasions and bruises with the exception of the fatal wound from the barrier.
