I watched this ^^^ a few days ago and that column number 76 was a total mess and the picture shown was from November of 2020. If there ever was a "smoking gun", I would say column 76 is it!!!

How is that?

It's the way the law industry game works. They name everyone. The engineering firm hands the suit to their insurance company the insurance company then deals with it from an economic stand point.

This is a settlement no one was actually found liable. All the insurance companies settled the suit.

The reinsurance market had liability on multiple fronts so settlement with no liability is the only way to close this out.

Did everyone here get their claim in? Lots of doozies.

An Oregon man claimed he drove across the country to vacation in Miami Beach and met a kindly stranger named Luis at a bar who suggested that instead of sleeping in his car the man stay with a friend at Champlain Towers South in Surfside. They went to the condo building and after just one minute of waiting outside, the man heard a loud boom, got hit in the head by a falling chunk of concrete and blacked out.

When he woke up, he was lying next to the rubble of the building that had collapsed. Shocked, the man left the scene where 98 people died and drove back to Oregon. He had never told anyone his terrifying story, as he sought to collect $50,000 in personal injury damages.

“I just want that part of my mind gone,” the 33-year-old Oregon man said in a letter to the receiver. “I wish I could somehow erase that part, but I cannot.”

It's shocking how many dirt bags there are in the world.
