It looks like WCI, the main contractor that used much of the Chinese drywall in homes in Broward County, has been granted bankruptcy protection. That allows them to set up a trust to cover the costs of admininstrating the process of compensating homeowners stuck with the faulty drywall.
Sometimes things do work out for the homeowner!

The first Chinese drywall lawsuit begins this month and here is some good information: http://www.chinese-drywall-answers.com/. People living with Chinese drywall have suffered eye, respiratory, and sinus problems that may be linked to the gases emitted from defective Chinese drywall that produce a sulfurous odor and causes metals—air conditioning coils, silverware, jewelry—to corrode. Some 500 million pounds of Chinese drywall was imported into this country since the late 1990s, impacting about 100,000 homes.
