Over three decades, Lon Walters has represented clients in personal injury and wrongful death cases in 20 states, including filing more than 35 cases against BP Corporation on behalf of residents living near a refinery who alleged they were exposed to toxic substances.

The first was a $13.3 million wrongful death settlement for a 69-year-old woman that a court determined had been exposed to benzene, which led to a diagnosis of MDS and leukemia. This was the first case the Walters firm filed against BP on behalf of Sugar Creek residents who acquired cancer. All the lawsuits were ultimately settled.
