Families of Berkeley balcony collapse victims reach settlement

Families of Berkeley balcony collapse victims reach settlement

A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit following the Berkeley balcony collapse.

The deal, which is being kept confidential, is the second payout for the families of those killed and injured at the Liberty Gardens complex in California in 2013.

Five Irish J-1 students and one Irish-American were among the dead when rotten wood in a balcony gave way during a birthday party.

Their families have since sued property managers and owners, as well as the builders and architects.
