April 6, 2010- A Plymouth Superior Court jury agreed yesterday that an oil barge company that caused a large 2003 oil spill in Buzzards Bay must pay eight Mattapoisett property owners for damages to their properties.
The case is the first environmental class-action suit to go to trial in Massachusetts, according to the law firm of Stern, Shapiro, Weissberg & Garin, which is representing the homeowners.
