Families of Boston bombing victims may each get $1m

The lawyer overseeing the Boston Marathon bombings victims’ fund says the families of three people who died could each receive well over $1m (€760,000).

Kenneth Feinberg says he plans to unveil a tentative compensation proposal on Monday in advance of meetings with victims.

Feinberg, who oversaw the 9/11 compensation fund, told The Boston Globe that victims who lost more than one limb in the Apr 15 attack would receive a similar amount, while those who lost a single limb would probably receive close to $1m each.
