$10M Settlement For The Rash Driving Victim From Colombia

Introduction

A woman has been ordered to pay $10 million to the wife of a man who was killed by her in a rash driving case in Columbia.

As per the lawsuit, the woman was speeding the car while talking on her phone when she went around police escort and hit the victim. The victim succumbed to the injuries on May 5, 2019, six months after the painful suffering.

The woman is charged in a wrongful death lawsuit with charges of involuntary manslaughter and is penalized with $10 million as a fine. In May 2021, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The amount would be given to the victim's wife.

Last month in a similar suit, the defendant was sentenced to be prisoned for 10 years, citing the collision of two SUVs, which resulted in the death of four people. The attorneys for the plaintiffs in the suit argued that the punishment for the defendant was very lenient.

Another incident with similar charges was reported on March 7, 2017, where a 16-year-old Torrance high school baseball player got killed in the collision. The father of the teenager suffered from life-altering injuries. The jury ordered Los Angeles County to pay a $6.5 million settlement to the victims in the suit.
