As ABC News reported, family members of those who lost their lives at Surfside held a ceremony in the victims’ honor on Thursday. Some of the families interviewed said they were too deep in mourning to think about the news of the settlement.

According to Palm Beach Gardens lawyer Sean Domnick of Domnick, Cunningham & Whalen: “The process moved reasonably quickly with the Surfside settlement, yet the families who have endured this tragedy can never be made whole. At very close to a billion dollars, the settlement sends a clear message that the health and safety of tenants need to be the most important factor in designing, building, and running a property.”
