Lawsuit filed in sugar refinery blast

An employee of the sugar refinery near Savannah that exploded last month has filed a lawsuit. Raquel Islas filed the suit in state court against a company that was hired to clean dust at the refinery. Islas' attorney says Stokes Contracting is not responsible for the ignition that led to the blast, but should be liable for punitive damages because the company failed to clean and dispose-of sugar dust. The February 7th explosion at the refinery in Port Wentworth killed 13 people.
