This decision concerns a motion under Rule 7 for court approval of a proposed settlement in a wrongful death action involving minor plaintiffs.
The case arose from a fatal pedestrian motor vehicle accident in which the deceased, Nadia Mozumder, was struck and killed at age 17.
The court considered whether the settlement and legal fees were fair and reasonable, and whether the requirements of Rule 7.08 were met.
The court approved the settlement, finding it within the range of reasonable values for similar cases, and commended counsel for their thorough preparation.
