Lockheed Orlando Facility Accused Of Mishandling Toxic Chemicals In Suit [1]

"ORLANDO, Fla. – Lockheed Martin Corp. facility in Orlando is accused of mishandling hazardous toxins, releasing contaminates into soil and groundwater, according to a personal and class-action lawsuit filed by the personal injury law firm Morgan and Morgan.

Attorneys for Morgan and Morgan filed a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of 13 employees at The Golf Channel, who worked near Lockheed Martin’s facility at 5600 Sand Lake Road. Those individuals allege they were exposed to dangerous chemicals from the facility. The Golf Channel building is located on the other side of Sand Lake Road from Lockheed Martin.

A separate class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf of all individuals who live or work near the facility.

The lawsuits, both filed in the Middle District of Florida, Orlando, are seeking damages for medical treatment, pain and suffering."
