Injury Attorney Bernard Walsh Comments On The Bridge Closing Scandal

BRADENTON, Fla. - Jan. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- As the political fallout from the bridge closing scandal is immediate, though perhaps temporary, the legal and financial fallout for the culpable parties is just beginning. Lawyers familiar with civil law and the obligations of the government to maintain the safety of their citizens, no matter their political party, are already being called upon to seek compensation for civil matters and investigate possible criminal charges.

Attorney Bernard Walsh had this to say about the scandal, “Governor Chris Christie’s apology is not going to end this matter. Intentionally causing this traffic build up which lasted for days affected ambulance, fire trucks, and law enforcement in their response to emergencies which I believe will result in possible criminal charges and civil suits for gross negligence.”

Mr. Walsh added, “Further, as an attorney in frequent contact with both local and state officials including law enforcement, I find it amazing that anyone sworn to public service would deliberately place their citizens in danger because of school-yard politics. As the effected individuals and businesses tally lost wages and those who were in need of emergency services that were delayed consider their losses, the financial fallout will leave a lasting mark on the responsible people even if the political storm moves on.”
