A2: BP Spill

Noah Hall, an Ann Arbor resident and Wayne State law professor, is featured in a PBS Newshour segment asking environmental lawyers to weigh in on BP’s liability related to the Gulf oil spill: “[T]here’s going to be a lot of disputes, a lot of litigation, and for many of these claims, the victims really won’t see justice for many years to come. It’s not always immediately apparent who has been hurt, whose business has suffered because of the oil spill, which fishermen have lost their catches for the season. And even health damages often don’t appear right away. There’s a lot of latent effects of pollution that we don’t see for many years to come.” [Source]
