Tony Buzbee, well known for winning multimillion dollar verdicts, scored a much more modest outcome recently. After a four-week trial in a federal case in Galveston against BP Products of North America, Buzbee’s four clients won a jury award of less than $4,000 per plaintiff.
In the litigation, Buzbee’s clients alleged that BP’s negligence and gross negligence during a 2011 leak at a Texas City refinery, which the company operated at the time, exposed them to harmful and toxic chemicals. BP denied the allegations. With its Dec. 4 verdict, the jury held BP responsible only for the negligence claim and $14,000 in total damages.
