The effects of September 11th 2001 are still being felt to this day over nine years later. Over 10,000 people have filed lawsuits against the city of New York, stating that they have gotten sick from their negligence to provide them with proper breathing devices to protect against the dust from the twin towers. A deadline for Monday was put in place to get ninety-five percent of these lawsuits to join together for one large legal settlement. Under the settlement, the people would get paid about 815 million dollars. New York officials say the money will not cover everything but it could be the best the clients can get with very little proof that the debris is the leading cause of these illnesses.
