Despite legal settlements reached in late April between builders and the families of workers killed or injured in the collapse of a $22.5-million Miami Dade College parking garage project, the school remains unsure where or when it may rebuild the structure—or what firms may handle the work.
On May 1, law firms representing the victims' families announced the settlement with the following statement: "The families of the four workers who lost their lives ... and the defendants in these wrongful death and injury lawsuits jointly announce that these matters have been amicably resolved for undisclosed amounts of compensation. The terms of these settlements are confidential by agreement between the parties. All parties look forward to better days. There will be no further comment."
