: Breaking Legal NewsLawyer: Ford, family settle in player crash death
By (Breaking Legal News)
An attorney says Ford Motor Co. has settled a Mississippi lawsuit over damages sought from a 2001 rollover crash that killed a New York Mets prospect in the Florida Panhandle.
Tab Turner, an attorney for the family of Brian Cole, told The Associated Press the settlement Thursday came after the jury in Jasper County awarded $131 million in actual damages to the family and before it was to consider possible punitive damages.
Turner said the settlement amount and terms were confidential.
A Ford spokeswoman blamed speeding and reckless driving for the accident.
Cole died from injuries he suffered when his Ford Explorer overturned as he drove home on March 31, 2001, from spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla., to Meridian, Miss.
