Appeal Washington Law Granting Compensation to Ill Nuclear Workers |
|
The
Department of Justice is appealing a ruling which upheld a new Washington
state law that helps ill workers at a nuclear reservation receive
compensation. The state of Washington argued that workers at the Hanford
nuclear reservation near Richland were eligible for compensation due to their
exposure to harmful compounds and poor testing records. The federal government
is fighting the new law which does not enforce a statute of limitations on
worker claims.

Illinois-based trucking company has been hit with a lawsuit over a crash on
I-90. The lawsuit was filed by the family of a man from Rapid City, Iowa who
was killed in a crash involving one of the defendant's drivers. The lawsuit
alleges the crash that killed the victim took place after the truck driver
over-corrected, causing his semi-truck to flip onto the road. The complaint
accuses BDJ Trucking of wrongful death and negligence.
