Adair Grain Inc., which owns the fertilizer plant that exploded last week
in West, Texas, was sued by townspeople and insurance firms seeking
damages over the deadly blast.

.

At least 30 residents of the small town and four local insurance agencies
are suing the family-owned fertilizer plant, according to court records
and the victims lawyers. The April 17 explosion killed at least 14,
injured more than 200 and damaged more than 70 homes and businesses in a
five-block area.

.

We filed quickly for one reason - to be able to participate in the
investigation as soon as the federal government releases the scene, said
Paul Grinke, a Dallas lawyer who filed the lawsuit April 19 in state court
in Waco on behalf of four local insurance agencies and 17 of their
customers. The calls just keep coming in. Were over 30 individual clients
now, including some who were uninsured.

.

Andrea Jones Gutierrez, a 40-year-old single mother, has sued the plant
owner in a separate action for the loss of all her worldly possessions,
physical injuries and emotional distress. She lived across the street from
the West Fertilizer Co., in the apartment complex destroyed in the blast.

.

Looking at the pictures of that apartment complex, its hard to think
anyone would be alive, and I believe there may be some fatalities there,
Randy Roberts, Gutierrezs lawyer, said in a phone interview today. When
Andrea first heard the commotion, she stepped outside on the side of the
complex opposite from the plant just at the moment of the explosion, and
the building shielded her from the brunt of the blast. Fortunately, her
son was at church at the time, or he wouldnt be here today.
