Plaintiffs Lawyers for 9/11 Workers Make Deal Over Cost Sharing
Lawyers representing most of the more than 10,000 plaintiffs suing New York City and its contractors for illnesses resulting from the response and cleanup after the 9/11 terror attacks have patched up their differences over sharing costs. Plaintiffs firms Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo and Worby Groner Edelman & Napoli Bern were set to square off at a hearing Wednesday, but instead submitted a stipulation to the federal judge presiding over a still-to-be-finalized $712.5 million settlement in the cases.
