Pennsylvania retirees settlement 313

Premises Liability is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law.

Thousands of retirees and their spouses from an AK Steel Corp. in Pennsylvania will have their medical benefits covered as a result of a $178.6 million settlement. The Ohio-based company was sued in 2006 after announcing it would reduce some benefits and charge premiums for others, which “violated collective bargaining agreements that promised them company-funded medical benefits during retirement.” The settlement includes the establishment of a trust fund to pay benefits in the future and follows a similar suit settled in 2008 that was filed by a different plant location.  San Diego personal injury attorney Joe Mandak, Bloomberg  01/12/2011
