BAKERSFIELD, CA - There's a settlement agreement in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of two brothers who died at the Community Recycling plant near Lamont.
17 news has learned the settlement was reached in late September. An attorney for Community Recycling could not disclose the settlement amount, saying it was confidential.
He did say there was a mutual satisfaction between both parties. The Ramirez family filed a lawsuit against Community Recycling and the county after the death of 16-year-old Armando Ramirez and his brother, 22-year-old Eladio Ramirez in 2011.
They were killed by toxic fumes while working on a drainage canal at Community Recycling. Last month, the district attorney's office said no criminal charges would be filed against Community Recycling, due to insufficient evidence to prosecute.
