Tragic Camp Cohen Drowning Leads to Mother's Arrest
Jessica Weaver, the mother of 3-year-old Anthony Leo Malave, who tragically drowned at El Paso's Camp Cohen Water Park, is now facing a felony charge of injury to a child by omission. Her legal team argues that this charge is a retaliatory response to her $1 million lawsuit against the city, in which she accuses them of negligence and inadequate safety measures. Weaver's attorney, Ryan S. MacLeod, criticized El Paso District Attorney Bill Hicks for what he deemed a "political stunt" regarding Weaver's arrest. MacLeod pointed out that Weaver has not been indicted by a grand jury and criticized the selective prosecution, highlighting that parents are not typically charged in similar drowning cases at private pools. The law firm representing Weaver alleges that the city destroyed evidence and that lifeguards at the water park lacked proper training and response procedures. They suggest that the focus should be on holding the water park officials and lifeguards accountable for safety lapses.

Who Qualifies For Compensation Through The Camp Lejeune Justice Act?
From 1953 to 1987, Marines, military families, and civilian staff at Camp Lejeune unknowingly bathed in and drank contaminated water. The tragedies that unfolded from that injustice are incalculable and unconscionable, including hundreds of babies who lost their lives because they were exposed to toxic water. Several of the babies were stillborn, so they didn’t even have a chance to take a single breath before they died.
Children weren’t the only ones to suffer because of exposure to Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water. Many adults have suffered and are suffering due to exposure to Camp Lejeune’s toxic water, developing serious, and often fatal, illnesses, such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
WHAT IS THE CAMP LEJEUNE JUSTICE ACT?
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act was signed into law recently. It enables veterans, military families, and civilian contractors who served, resided, or worked at Camp Lejeune from August 1953 to December 1987 to recover compensation for what was done to them.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR COMPENSATION THROUGH THE CAMP LEJEUNE JUSTICE ACT?
In most cases, to be eligible for the Camp Lejeune Justice Act a person must meet one or more of the following requirements:
- A person or a person’s family member was exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days from August 1, 1953 to December 31, 1987. This can include utero exposure.
- A person or a person’s family member was diagnosed with a severe illness, like cancer, after working or living at Camp Lejeune. This can include a diagnosis that came years after the person worked or lived at the base.
- While a person worked or lived at Camp Lejeune, their child died shortly after birth.
- Following a person’s time living or working at Camp Lejeune, their child died shortly after birth.
- While a person worked or lived at Camp Lejeune, the person or their child was diagnosed with a major fetal malformation or birth defect.
- Following a person’s time living or working at Camp Lejeune, the person or their child was diagnosed with a major fetal malformation or birth defect.
- While a person worked or lived at Camp Lejeune, or not long after the person worked or lived at the base, the person suffered infertility or had a miscarriage.
In some cases, it can take years for the effects of toxic chemical exposure to reveal themselves. There are studies that show that long term toxic chemical exposure (30 days or more) can result in a person being at a higher risk of developing serious illnesses, such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease, for the rest of their life. This is why even if a person doesn’t develop health problems until years after working or living at Camp Lejeune, they may still be eligible for compensation.
WHAT TYPES OF INJURIES HAVE RESULTED FROM EXPOSURE TO CAMP LEJEUNE’S CONTAMINATED WATER?
The effects of toxic chemicals are far-reaching, which means that the injuries and illnesses that can result from exposure to contaminated water are wide-ranging.
The following is a list of a few of the illnesses and injuries that people have suffered because of exposure to Camp Lejeune’s toxic water:
- Cancer (this includes almost every type of cancer)
- Hepatic steatosis
- Birth defects (including but not limited to choanal atresia, oral cleft defects, low birth weight, and neural tube defects)
- Major fetal malformations
- Female infertility
- Miscarriage
- End-stage renal disease
- Scleroderma
- Neurobehavioral effects
- Parkinson’s disease
- Fetal death
- Cardiac defects
- Aplastic anemia
- Renal toxicity
- Myelodysplastic syndromes

Oak Meadows Gas Explosion Lawsuit Press Release
Proposed Press Release - A team of experienced civil trial attorneys filed suit today against the producers and former producers of gas wells adjoining the Oak Meadows subdivision, in Firestone, Colorado. The lawsuit also asserts claims against the developer of Oak Meadows and the home-builders of the residence that is the subject of the lawsuit.
The individual lawsuit, filed on behalf of one homeowner in the Oak Meadows subdivision, seeks recovery of monetary damages for personal injuries and property damages sustained in the past and likely to be sustained in the future. The claims arise from an explosion of a home located near that owned by the homeowners. The explosion was reportedly caused by gas that had accumulated in the basement of the home. The lawsuit asserts that the sounds, sights, and reasonable fears arising from witnessing the explosion have caused the homeowners damage. The lawsuit also alleges that the continuing after-effects and possible similar occurrences in the future constitute a temporary, permanent, and continuing nuisance and trespass.
The team of attorneys is comprised of John Boesen, Jason Webster, and Richard A. Capshaw. Each firm has experience in civil trial law and pursuing the legal rights of persons similar to the homeowners in this case.

Lac-Mégantic Train Derailment Update
MMA Railway Settlement Announcement $200 Million for Lac-Mégantic Train Derailment Disaster Victims
CHICAGO— In accordance with a draft Plan of Compromise and Arrangement filed with the Quebec Superior Court today in the CCAA case for Montreal Maine and Atlantic Canada Co. (MMAC), nearly $200 million in settlement funds will be distributed to the victims of the Lac-Mégantic, Quebec train derailment disaster that occurred on July 6, 2013. According to the trustee for Montreal Maine and Atlantic Canada Ltd. (MMA), MMAC's U.S. parent company, a similar plan will soon be filed in the MMA chapter 11 case. In addition, the parties continue to pursue additional settlements with parties who are not yet contributors, failing which litigation will continue against those parties, with the goal of materially increasing the settlement fund.
"We are pleased to finally reach a partial resolution and settlement for the victims of the train derailment disaster," said Robert Keach, the appointed trustee for the MMA bankruptcy case. "Due to the diligence and respect by all parties associated with this plan in Canada and the United States, we have put forward a favorable resolution. With continued diligence by all parties, the settlement amount will be significantly higher."
The settlement is subject to approval by the courts presiding over the MMA and MMAC cases. Upon approval, the settlement funds will be split and distributed to:
- The Wrongful Death Claimants, including 48 deceased victims and their families
- The Personal Injury and Moral Damages Claimants
- Property and Economic Damages Claimants
- Insurer Claimants
- Government Claimants
"Our litigation in Illinois played a dramatic role in increasing the number of funds that will be distributed to our clients who are the families of the deceased victims of the Lac-Megantic disaster," said Peter Flowers, wrongful death plaintiffs' lawyer of Meyers & Flowers Law Firm in Chicago, who is working directly with Attorney Jason Webster, of The Webster Law Firm in Houston. Flowers and Webster are representing the plaintiffs who died in the train disaster and their families. Attorney Mitchell Toups of Beaumont, Texas, is also involved in the legal representation of the wrongful death victims.
"We have driven the value in the wrongful death estate higher than our clients would have received under Canadian law," Flowers said. "But, this is just the beginning of the settlements for our clients, as there are three huge contributors to this disaster including World Fuel Services, Canadian Pacific Railway, and Irving Oil. And they are not yet contributing a penny to this resolution. We will turn over every stone on earth before we give up on them and intend on pursuing them in Illinois and any other state to ensure that they are brought to justice and held responsible for this disaster."
