Surfside Commission Approves a $2 Million Insurance Settlement Over Collapsed Condo
Surfside commissioners voted Monday to approve a $2 million insurance settlement in the class-action lawsuit related to the Champlain Towers South condo collapse.
It was part of the nearly $1 billion tentative settlement that parties ranging from the security company contracted at the Champlain Towers to the developers of a Miami Beach condo building next door agreed to pay the survivors and families of victims.
Surfside commissioners gathered for a rare morning meeting in the near-empty commission chambers and voted 5-0 for the town’s insurance company to pay the maximum policy limit to the survivors and relatives of those who died in the collapse.
