Two lawsuits have been filed on behalf of more than 250 West Texas residents against four companies they contend contaminated their Midland-area neighborhood with hexavalent chromium.
According to court documents obtained by the Midland Reporter-Telegram show the residents want compensation for past and future medical expenses, diminished property values, emotional distress, cases of wrongful death and other losses.
Named as defendants in the biggest lawsuit, filed by Midland lawyer Brian Carney, are Schlumberger, Schlumberger Technology Corp., Dow Chemical Co. and Lear Corp. Another lawsuit was filed on behalf of 10 plaintiffs.
A Dow Chemical spokeswoman had no immediate comment, while a message left with a Schlumberger spokesman wasn’t returned. A security official at Lear Corp. said no one was available for comment.
