9/11 Worker Class Action Lawyers Offer to Reduce Fees

The AP reports that the $657 million settlement offer for workers injured during the World Trade Center clean up, rejected by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in part because the lawyers for the plaintiffs would have received a third or more of the settlement, may be back on track. The law firm representing the workers has now offered to cap its legal fees at 20%, or $115 million.  See earlier post, $675 Million WTC Worker Settlement Rejected by Judge.
