A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit by thousands of Ground Zero rescue and cleanup workers against New York City.
The settlement of up to $675.5 million would compensate about 10,000 plaintiffs who say their health was damaged by exposure to contaminants at the World Trade Center site, The New York Times reported.
The amount received by each plaintiff, which would vary from thousands of dollars to more than $1 million, would be determined according to the severity of their illnesses.
If all the plaintiffs agree to the terms of the settlement, the total settlement would be $657.5 million. If only the required 95 percent agree, the total would be $575 million, The Times reported.
