Attorneys for the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association were also involved in the settlement. The heirs of the 98 victims were classified as the wrongful death class during the hearing and the surviving condominium owners were referred to as the economic class. “Please know that this court is not diminishing in any respect your pain and suffering and trauma you have suffered … we have 98 people who lost their lives, and this case has to be kept in perspective.” “Everybody in this case is a victim, there is no question about that,” Hanzman said before giving his final approval. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman approved the multimillion-dollar settlement after listening to emotional testimony that brought him to tears multiple times. The victims ranged from 1 to 92 years old. The settlement comes less than a year after a portion of the condo building collapsed in the middle of the night on June 24 as many residents slept, killing 98 people.
