The plaintiffs, including two parties under disability represented by the Public Guardian and Trustee, brought a motion for court approval of a $1,000,000 global settlement resolving tort and statutory accident benefit claims arising from five motor vehicle collisions.
The court reviewed the medical evidence, the risks of proceeding to trial, and the proposed allocation of funds, including legal fees.
Finding the settlement to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the parties under disability, the court approved the settlement.
