Magistrate Judge Says Man’s Bladder Tumor Suit Should Be Transferred

(September 14, 2016, 12:46 PM EDT) -- NEW ORLEANS — A federal magistrate judge in Louisiana on Sept. 7 held that a man’s lawsuit claiming that he developed a bladder tumor as a result of exposure to oil and dispersants during response actions following the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico is better suited for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana because it is where the plaintiff lives and where his medical professionals are located (James Worley v. BP Production & Exploration Inc., et al., No. 16-3620, E.D. La.; 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 121786)....
