The first class action lawsuit was filed Friday April 11, 2008 on behalf of property owners living in the vicinity of the Raytheon facility in St. Petersburg, Florida. The class action suit was filed by the Levin Papantonio firm, the law firm of Kennedy & Madonna, and the Morgan & Morgan firm. The amended complaint alleges that for decades Raytheon and its predecessors have known their operations and waste management practices were environmentally unsound. It also alleges that Raytheon engaged in a concerted effort to misrepresent and withhold information from the public regarding the extent of the contamination.
The complaint seeks damages on behalf of the class for the loss of use and enjoyment of their property, the loss of use of the groundwater, diminished property values, restoration costs, consequential and incidental damages, disgorgement of profits and unjust enrichment.
Levin, Papantonio has attorneys with experience in environmental litigation and groundwater contamination including the former general counsel of the Florida Department of Natural Resources, and the founders of a non-profit natural resource protection organization.
