Walmart Gives $10M To Family Of Comedian Jimmy Mac Killed in Tracy Morgan Car Crash
Wal-Mart made the large payout to the family of James McNair to avoid potential losses from litigation, the McNair family’s lawyer said in court papers.Under the settlement, McNair’s two children, Jamel, 26, and Denita, 19, will split the payout after their lawyer, Daryl Zaslow, takes a nearly $3 million cut, according to court records.The children had sued Wal-Mart after one of its trucks slammed into a limousine van carrying McNair, Morgan and other comedians on the New Jersey Turnpike on June 7, 2014.New Jersey police charged the truck’s driver, Kevin Roper, with death by automobile and four other vehicle assault charges.
Walmart Gives $10M To Family Of Comedian Jimmy Mac Killed in Tracy Morgan Car Crash. The settlement was determined back in October but it wasn’t made public until January of this year.The attorney that represented the family faced some challenges trying to justify this large sum;because Jimmy wasn’t considered a “high-wage earner” Everything ended up working in the children’s favor but it’s so sad they lost their dad. What are your thoughts is 10 million a fair amount? Let me know in the comments.
