The Acreage Cancer Study

THE ACREAGE, Fla. - An attorney filed a wrongful death lawsuit Friday afternoon in the case of Joey Baratta. He passed away in September of 2009 due to brain cancer.

Baratta's family is claiming Pratt & Whitney is responsible for contaminating the soil and groundwater years ago, leading to Baratta's death. They also named Palm Beach Aggregates in the suit.

A spokesperson for Pratt & Whitney wouldn't comment on the case until he read the lawsuit. However, officials with the health department have said the company currently complies with all hazardous waste regulations. Palm Beach Aggregates couldn't be reached for comment.
