A settlement has been reached in the final remaining wrongful death lawsuit arising from the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, according to court documents.
The lawsuit was brought by the family of 31-year-old Mark Bavis, who was a passenger on United Airlines Flight 175, the second plane that flew into the
World
Trade
Center
.
The family had previously refused to settle the lawsuit, believing only a trial would hold the airline publicly accountable for gross negligence in permitting five terrorists to board the flight at Logan
International
Airport in
Boston
.
The settlement will require the airline to file a detailed report of the evidence in the case, including 127 exhibits that have not previously been made public.
The family's attorney said the report will achieve the public accountability they were seeking.
The amount of damages will remain confidential.
