Massey Energy Reaches Settlement With Some UBB Families
WEST VIRGINIA....
Massey Energy has reached a settlement with four families of the 29 miners killed April 5th at its Upper Big Branch Mine. The families of Rick Lane, Timmy Davis Sr., Rex Mullins and James Mooney have all agreed to compensation agreements. Terms of the settlements were not made public and the records of the agreements were sealed by a Boone County judge. Several victims' families have retained attorneys, but, to date, only one family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Massey and its subsidiary Performance Coal Company.
