The wife of a deceased refinery worker has filed suit against four oil
companies, claiming her husband was negligently exposed to benzene.
Representing
the estate of Arthur Watson, Olevia Watson filed suit against Total
Petrochemicals USA, Atlantic Richfield Co., BP Amoco and BP Products
North America on Feb. 26 in the Jefferson County District Court.
According
to the plaintiff's petition, Arthur Watson was employed by Fina in
Jefferson County, Texas. "During his employment he used and was exposed
to toxic and carcinogenic benzene and benzene-containing products."
"As
a result of such exposure, Arthur Watson developed leukemia from which
he died a painful and terrible death on Sept. 13, 2006," the suit said.
