A New Orleans judge has brought in a mediator to try to work out a settlement with hundreds of people who claim damage from the hotel construction collapse nearly three years ago. Plaintiffs say they were injured, a loved one killed, or their business damaged when upper stories of the planned Hard Rock Hotel collapsed. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
