“The fund has been set up for a four-year period to pay claims”

“Claims could be paid within 30-60 days of being filed, Mr Feinberg said”

“By the time the fund was wrapped up in 2005, $7bn had been awarded to 97% of the more than 7,000 claims.”

“The average award to relatives of those who died was $2m; and for those injured $390,000.”

“Only 94 people decided to litigate rather than enter a voluntary fund, Mr Feinberg told CNBC.”
