Another four families linked to the perished 33 crew of the El Faro have settled with ship operator Tote Services for $500,000 each.
Tote has now settled with 14 of the 33 families for a total of at least $7m, $500,000 each for pre-death pain and suffering and “an agreed upon amount for pecuniary damages covering the estate’s full economic loss”, a court document shows.
The 33 crew died on October 1 as the 40-year-old El Faro sank off the Bahamas amidst a severe hurricane.
