Resident, business files lawsuit after chemical leak in Toledo

The lawsuit claims M.C. Terminal Transport failed to follow safety procedures, leading to the chemical leak that forced people from their homes and disrupted businesses. A Toledo resident and a local landscaping business are suing the companies behind a chemical leak at a North chemical terminal. The defendants include M.C. Tank Transport Inc. and their parent company, Kenan Advantage Group, along with the terminal’s plant manager. The lawsuit alleges that M.T. Terminal Transport failed to maintain the tank and its safety systems, leading to a chemical release that forced 1,379 people from their homes and disrupted businesses. The plaintiffs are seeking more than $25,000 in compensatory damages and are asking the court to allow other residents and businesses to join the lawsuit. The court has not yet certified the proposed classes, and the lawsuit does not establish that the defendants are legally responsible for the chemical release.
