Judge Rejects 911 Settlement -- $595 Million Not Enough

A US District Court Judge rejected the proposed settlement for $595 Million, for 911 first ill responders, declared it to be "not enough."

The Judge in reviewing the proposal said, "In my judgment, this settlement is not enough." Judge Alvin Hellerstein remarked, "I have the power of review, and I don't think it is fair."

A proposal was presented by the WTC Captive Insurance Company that manages the $1 Billion fund established by Congress to pay injured workers. 

The Court ordered more settlement discussions in an effort to seek a fair resolution of the litigation.
