New York City attorneys failed to limit the city's liability for the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash to $14 million. Now two of the firms that took the lead on the civil lawsuit over the crash -- Dougherty, Ryan, Giuffra, Zambito & Hession and Bosco, Bisignano, & Mascolo -- will ask an Eastern District of New York judge to compel every firm that has handled a civil suit related to the crash to give a portion of what they win to the two firms as compensation for their work on the limitation proceeding.

The firms that took the lead in the civil lawsuit over the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash that killed 11 people and injured dozens more expected formidable opposition from New York City attorneys, who tried, but ultimately failed, to limit the city’s liability in the accident to $14 million.
They did not, however, expect a skirmish with their own colleagues over fees once the city was defeated last month in Brooklyn federal court.
