$1 Million-Plus Missouri Car Accident Settlement Reached in 2006 Death of Man

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury News

A Missouri judge has ordered a car accident settlement of $1,024,000 to the family of a man who was killed in a February 2006 accident with a truck driver. Scott D. Potter was killed when a truck driven by Timothy Haase struck the rear of his car. Haase and the trucking company that employed him, Mid-American Truck Service, agreed to pay the car accident settlement to Mr. Potter’s widow Sonya and mother Patricia Standley.

Haase’s personal injury attorney, Laurie Ward, said that her client and the trucking company are equally responsible for satisfying the terms of the court order. Haase still faces criminal charges of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, and no trail date has been set at this time. Ward said that she doesn’t think this car accident settlement would influence the outcome of the criminal proceedings and further detailed her client’s grief and remorse for the incident.

According to the terms of the personal injury settlement as detailed in The Sedalia Democrat, Sonya Potter will get $364,207 and also receive more than $1200 each month for the next 25 years. Standley will receive $154,300 in the car accident settlement. The remaining settlement money will go towards attorney fees and expenses.
