- Kenneth Yablonski (February 13, 1934 – September 8, 2002) was a noted attorney with the firm of Yablonski, Costello and Leckie in Washington, Pennsylvania. Kenneth Joseph Yablonski was born in 1934 to Joseph "Jock" and Ann (Huffman) Yablonski. He obtained a bachelor's degree from Waynesburg College in 1956 and received his J.D. from West Virginia University College of Law in 1959. His father was an activist and leader with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), and Yablonski began to represent him. In 1961, he co-founded the firm of Yablonski, Costello and Leckie. He worked with the firm for the rest of his life. In 1964, Yablonski won a precedent-setting case involving benefits to survivors of a mine disaster. A mine explosion occurred at U.S. Steel's Robena No. 3 Mine in Greene County, Pennsylvania on December 8, 1962. A total of 37 miners lost their lives. Yablonski won a court order forcing the local coroner to perform an inquest. This provided evidence that helped the families win expanded survivors' benefits from the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Board. (en)
