Judge Recommends $12M Settlement

I thought this was really interesting in light of the recent egg recall. The USA Today is reporting that “a federal judge is recommending approval of a $12 million settlement for those sickened or killed in last year's salmonella outbreak tied to a Virginia-based peanut processor.”

The article also says “U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Urbanski to pay more than 120 personal injury claims related to the outbreak, including the families of nine people who died and 45 children who were sickened. The settlement must now be approved by a bankruptcy judge.”

If you had a verified diagnose of salmonella from a tainted food, call my office at 702-240-0000, text us at 24-0000, or go to www.edbernstein.com.
