The New York Times reported on the settlement reached between an engineering company, URS Corporation, and the victims involved in the collapse of a bridge in Minneapolis that broke apart and fell into the Mississippi River.  13 people died and 145 were injured.  URS agreed to pay $52.4  million, bringing the total settlement amogst all defendants to $100 million.  At issue was whether URS was aware of a design flaw that was later uncovered, and possible punitive damages if the case went to trial.
