Katrina Victims: Justice is Coming

In a ruling that could leave the Government open to billions of dollars in claims from Hurricane Katrina victims, Judge Duval foud that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had displayed "gross negligence" in failing to maintain the MR-GO, which caused damage to Plaintiffs' property in St. Bernard Parish and the Lower 9th Ward.

At the end of the day, Judge Duval agreed with us that Katrina was not a natural disaster.  Rather, it was a man-made disaster caused by the Army Corps of Engineers.

While the Government will likely appeal, we are calling upon the Obama administration and Congress to agree to a universal settlement.
