West Virginia Mine Victims Compensated
Posted in Employment, Worker's Comp on 11. May, 2010
Massey Energy has announced that it will be offering financial packages to the families of the victims of the mining tragedy that took the lives of 29 coal miners April 5 in West Virginia. Massey’s board director Robert Foglesong says they want to ease any financial concerns the families may have. The disaster is the worst in the U.S. in 40 years.
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration has questioned Massey’s safety record, and now there are reports that the company is being investigated by the FBI. Not to mention, there are calls from investors for the company’s CEO, Don Blankenship, to be ousted.
If you have been injured on the job, you should consider consulting a worker comp lawyer.
