As the dust settles on the $712 million Ground Zero lawsuit, plaintiffs with no illnesses are complaining that their settlement of $3,250 is being cut 60 percent, to $1,322, due to legal fees.
The New York Post headline covering the news story glared, Lawyer loan fees gouge 9/11 crews.
ACSH's Jeff Stier couldn t disagree more. It wasn t the 9/11 crews that were gouged, it was the taxpayers who are being forced to foot the bill for plaintiffs who aren t even sick.
