03/09/2012In March of 2012, Lori Vanderlaan, Tom Costello and Megan Gieseler were able to reach a settlement of a wrongful death dram shop action against one of the firm's clients for $5,000.00.
The matter involved a motor vehicle accident, in which it was not certain whether the AIP or the Plaintiff was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident. The Plaintiff passed away in the accident, and the firm was able to develop evidence through discovery that allowed the matter to be settled for nuisance value. In addition, while BV&H was able to settle the claims against the firm's client for $5,000, the Co-Defendant dram ended up contributing $15,000 toward the settlement.
