Eight scaffolding workers who were injured in a February 2009 explosion atย We Energies‘ Oak Creek power plant will get $16 million in a lawsuit settlement.

The workers were injured while erecting scaffolding inside of a coal dust collector at the power plant. Coal dust in the collector ignited, injuring the nine workers. Within 10 days of the incident, the eight workers had hiredย Habush Habush & Rottier SC, of Milwaukee, and suedย Wisconsin Electric Power Co.,ย U.S. Fire Protection Inc. and their insurance companies. U.S. Fire Protection was a contractor involved in the project at the coal dust collector.

Attorneys from Habush on Thursday announced the defendants agreed to a $16 million settlement of the case, which was scheduled to go to jury trial in May
