First checks for gas disaster victims being mailed Friday


The first $70 million in settlement payments to residents affected by the Merrimack Valley gas explosions will be mailed Friday, attorneys Morgan & Morgan announced in an email Wednesday.


Attorneys involved in the $143 million class action lawsuit previously asked for settlement payments to be fast tracked due the COVID-19 pandemic which shut down parts of the economy.


The checks for lump sump payments are being mailed six weeks earlier than expected, according to Morgan & Morgan.


“Getting this first round of checks out now rather than at the end of June will give a desperately needed lifeline to thousands of families during the COVID-19 shutdown,” according to the email.
