OC Register to pay carriers $22 million to settle lawsuit
Orange County Register
The attorney who filed the lawsuit on
behalf of 5,000 carriers said they should have been hired as employees,
entitled to workers comp coverage, social security withholding and
other benefits. Jurors were surprised by the settlement. "May the
record reflect 'mouths agaping,' " the judge told the court recorder
after he informed the jury they were being dismissed.
