9/11 workers settlement forum

NEW YORK

A law firm representing most of the plaintiffs in the 9/11 health litigation organized Wednesday's gathering to explain a proposed $713 million settlement.

Thousands of workers have to decide whether to accept the settlement crafted by their lawyers and approved by a judge.

They could reject it in the hope that Congress passes a bill to reopen the Sept. 11 victim compensation fund.

That bill would prohibit the workers from getting compensation through both.
