Community Members Can Seek Compensation as Part of $1M Settlement with Husky in Class-Action Lawsuit
“Community members affected by the 2018 explosion at the Husky oil refinery in Superior will be able to seek compensation now that a $1 million settlement has been reached in a federal class-action lawsuit. Husky Energy reached the $1.05 million agreement with Superior residents,” reports Danielle Kaeding in Wisconsin Public Radio.
“The lawsuit was filed in August 2018 due to losses experienced as a result of an explosion and series of fires at the refinery April 26, 2018. The explosion caused a temporary evacuation of the city and injured three dozen people. Husky is not admitting any wrongdoing or liability as part of the settlement. Up to 20,000 community members are eligible for compensation.”
