Report: GREAT WHITE Nightclub Fire Lawyers Will Be Able To Question Principals

November 9, 2007

Tracy Breton of the Providence Journal reports: Even though the Station fire criminal investigation is over, lawyers representing the people who were killed or injured in the blaze are going to get an opportunity to question key players in coming months for the civil lawsuits brought by the victims in federal court.

More than 300 people who lost loved ones or suffered injuries in the Feb. 20, 2003, fire — the fourth-deadliest nightclub fire in U.S. history — have filed lawsuits seeking money damages against dozens of defendants, including the owners of The Station, the members of the rock band that set off pyrotechnics inside the club without a permit, and manufacturers of highly flammable polyurethane foam, a material that was installed as soundproofing on the walls and ceiling of the club. All told, there are about 90 parties that remain as defendants in the victims' lawsuits.
