The plaintiff brought an unopposed motion for approval of a negotiated settlement and class counsel fees in a class action arising from the defendant's failure to follow public health standards in sterilizing medical instruments at its wound care clinics.
The court approved the settlement, which established a $195,000 fund to compensate the Infected Persons Class, finding it fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the class.
The court also approved class counsel fees of $112,078.93 and a representative plaintiff honorarium of $1,500.
