More than a week after a railcar leak of highly toxic chemicals at the Orange County Eagle Railcar facility, the company has yet to cooperate with the law firm who filed a restraining order to preserve evidence and allow for an onsite inspection.
This leak of toxic materials that resulted in a shelter in place order to several entire communities and sent dozens of people to local hospitals was not even reported to authorities as required by law. Once they were caught, they misrepresented the extent and scope of the problem based on what employees of the company have disclosed to us as concerned whistleblowers.
The Law Office of Brent Coon and Associates (BCA) requested access to the facility for 7 days and finally had to file an enforcement action against them on Friday. This will hopefully result in further court orders later this week. BCA has handled hundreds of similar releases and fires in the industrial sector for almost 40 years and they have never had a company resist these inspections like Eagle Railcar has done here.
“The community has a right to know what happened and we are determined to get to the bottom of it,” said Brent Coon, whose law firm has undertaken the lead role online the matter and represents hundreds of victims.
