Bridge Collapse
Minneapolis, MN: (Mar-10-08) The families of victims of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse brought lawsuits against the state of Minnesota, alleging wrongful death and personal injury. State officials said that the Senate Finance Committee approved a $25 million fund to compensate victims of the bridge collapse. A source explained that while the Senate version puts a $400,000 cap on each claim, the House bill has no limit on money available to individuals.
As per the current settlement fund stipulations, the House bill would bar insurance companies from reducing or eliminating payments to those compensated by the state. The issue has received considerable attention and as momentum builds, other organizations have begun questioning the extent of the state's obligation to the victims of the Aug. 1, 2007 incident.
