$200,000.00
A ten-year-old boy was struck by a car after running into the street after a football. The accident occurred in a neighborhood street in suburban Delaware County. The defendant was driving 45 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and killed him instantly. The defendant was without assets except for a $100,000 insurance policy. We made an additional claim against the owner of a car illegally parked that had blocked the driver’s view of the child for a total settlement of $200,000. No other assets or sources of recovery could be found, however, the surviving family was able to purchase a home in another neighborhood and begin to rebuild their lives. A portion of the settlement funds was placed into a Structured Settlement which will provide the surviving brother and sister money for a college education.
