September 11 Laborers Sue $1 Billion Fund
By Associated Press | July 18, 2007
Ailing ground zero workers went to court yesterday to demand that the company overseeing a $1 billion September 11, 2001, insurance fund spend the money to pay for their health care.
The workers have already filed a class action lawsuit claiming the toxic dust from the World Trade Center site gave them serious, sometimes fatal diseases. Yesterday, they sought compensation from the WTC Captive Insurance Co., the company in charge of money appropriated by Congress to deal with September 11 health-related claims.
