The plaintiffs brought a motion under Rule 7.08 for court approval of a $440,000 settlement arising from a fatal motor vehicle accident involving a motorcycle.
The deceased's minor child and other family members sought damages under the Family Law Act.
The court found the 30% contingency fee agreement for the minor plaintiff to be fair and reasonable.
However, the court adjourned the motion for settlement approval because the plaintiffs failed to provide the expert report on loss of dependency and a complete list of disbursements.
