Laws/Cases

Valero Energy's Corpus Christi Refinery Sued After Water Contamination

A Corpus Christi attorney filed a lawsuit Thursday against Valero Energy Corp.'s refinery there less than 24 hours after the city issued a warning to its 320,000 residents telling them not to drink or shower with the water because it may have been contaminated in an industrial 'back-flow incident.' The suit was filed in Nueces County on behalf of local businesses, including Anthony's Aveda Concept Salon that had to close because of the lack of water. The plaintiffs are seeking more than $1 million in damages.

Yahoo Faces Potential Class Action Over Security Breach

Yahoo is facing a lawsuit alleging that it failed to protect its consumers from hacking. The company has been hit with the proposed class-action lawsuit following a hacking incident which may have affected more than 1 billion user accounts. The lawsuit was filed by one man on behalf of all U.S. Yahoo users. As alleged in the complaint, Yahoo failed to protect the personal and confidential information of its users and failed to warn consumers of a cybersecurity breach.
