Q: Was there any kind of settlement for the people in sugarcreek missouri for the ammaco oil refinery spill
I know at one point there was a letter sent to my grandmother in regards to a settlement but it was determined we wasn't zoned in. I understand we were zoned in at a later date. My grandmother and grandfather both died of cancer in that rachet town because of the oil spill and I feel justice for their lives have never been brought to a close
A: I'm sorry for the loss of your grandmother and grandfather. You could search online for case records of individual claimants under the spill (or its associated clean-up and remediation efforts), or whether a class of plaintiffs was formed. If venue for the action was in Missouri, another option might be to reach out to Missouri toxic tort or environmental law attorneys. Good luck
