To the Editor:
We would like all Mattapoisett residents including the summer residents to know that the Bouchard oil spill trial is the first environmental class action lawsuit in Massachusetts. The trial was held recently over a two-week period in April. This trial was only a small number of the entire Mattapoisett Class. There are many others in the class who also deserve compensation. The amount the jury awarded me we believe was fair.
We urge everyone whose beaches were damaged to participate in the case and pursue their claim against the Bouchard Oil Company.
We're glad the jury stood up for the residents of Mattapoisett against the Bouchard Oil Company. We now have some good benchmarks that we hope will be of help to all of us as it's determined how best to resolve the over 1000 residential claims.
Thanks,
Natalie and Frank Haggerty
