- On Thursday, Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Kern Reese approved a $106 million settlement ending a yearslong legal battle over the 2019 Hard Rock Hotel collapse in New Orleans.
- The 18-story hotel project partially collapsed in 2019 during construction, killing three workers—Jose Arreola, Quinnyon Wimberly, and Anthony Magrette—and damaging nearby property along Canal Street.
- Lawsuits from 490 plaintiffs, including injured workers and businesses, were consolidated into one case against 21 defendants, according to lead counsel Mark Glago.
- A special master will eventually distribute the settlement funds to claimants, Glago noted, with specific disbursement details expected later.
- Although a grand jury previously declined to indict anyone following the tragedy, this court-approved settlement formally resolves the yearslong civil litigation surrounding the New Orleans hotel collapse.
