JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Two brothers injured in a deadly explosion at an International Paper Co. mill in Mississippi have agreed to settle their federal lawsuit.
David and Darren Clark of Mooresville, N.C., agreed to the deal in a joint motion with IP filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Mississippi.
Terms weren't disclosed.
The Clarks were injured when a recovery boiler exploded at the Redwood plant in 2008. One man was killed and nearly two dozen hurt.
The proposed settlement would also release from liability their employer, Cumming, Ga.-based RMR Mechanical Inc., and Zurich American Insurance Co., a subsidiary of Swiss insurance giant Zurich Financial Services.
The brothers' lawyers and an IP spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to messages.
