Here Comes the Judge

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Exxon Mobile for damages resulting from the spill of 1,200 barrels of oil from its Silvertip pipeline into the Yellowstone River near Billings, Montana.

Billings attorney Cliff Edwards filed a class action lawsuit Tuesday in Yellowstone County District Court on behalf of eight landowners. The suit asks for a jury trial and unspecified punitive damages from Exxon for long-term harm to their land and businesses.

“The only thing corporations understand is money, and I intend to cost them enough money for what they did to make them think twice before they do this again.” Edwards said. “This is outrageous.”

And Exxon could have prevented the spill, how?
