Ryan R. Burke filed a lawsuit March 24 in Cook County Circuit Court against BP Products North America Inc., Novaspect Mechanical Services LLC, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., Imperial Crane Services Inc., ACMS Group Inc. and Solid Platforms Inc., alleging negligence and failing to provide a reasonable safe place to work for workers to prevent injuries at the Whiting facility.
