Companies to Pay $14.8M in FEMA Trailer Settlement

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Nearly two dozen companies that manufactured government-issued trailers for storm victims after Hurricane Katrina have agreed to pay $14.8 million in a proposed class-action settlement of claims that the temporary shelters exposed occupants to hazardous fumes.

Plaintiffs' attorney Gerald Meunier said Tuesday that the agreement could benefit tens of thousands of Gulf Coast residents who lived in travel trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

Meunier said 21 trailer makers or their insurers will pay to resolve the claims without any admission of wrongdoing.
