$100 Million Awarded to Troy, Michigan Family in Wrongful Death Suit

By Kirk Bernard, Esq.

A family was awarded $100 million in a wrongful death suit -- the largest settlement known for a wrongful death case in Michigan. The settlement stemmed from the 2005 murder of 20-year-old girl in Troy, Michigan.

It was discovered in her family's garage by police and her parents, according to the attorney for the girl?s parents.

The settlement was entered Monday -- the third anniversary of her death.

The girl?s then 20 year old boyfriend was convicted of the murder in December 2006 and sentenced to life in prison.
