The estate of another miner killed in the Sago Mine explosion in West Virginia has reached a tentative legal settlement with International Coal Group Inc.
Lawyer Tim Bailey says the confidential deal struck for heirs of James Bennett has not been approved by Kanawha County Circuit Judge Charles King. Bennett was one of 12 miners killed in the January 2006 methane gas explosion.
Bailey says the agreement is limited to mine owner ICG, its Wolf Run subsidiary and Chairman Wilbur Ross Jr. Claims involving Bennett already have been settled with the manufacturer and supplier of concrete foam blocks used to build failed seals at the Upshur County mine.
