A wrongful death lawsuit has resulted in a $1,079,000 settlement for the family of a man who died in an accident at an Alabama lake house. The incident occurred when the victim accepted a ride in a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) driven by another individual who was under the influence of alcohol. The UTV crashed into a ditch and overturned, causing fatal injuries.

The victim’s spouse filed suit to hold the driver accountable for negligent actions. Attorney Ben Locklar managed the case, which involved multiple State Farm insurance policies and presented legal complexities. The settlement brings some closure to the bereaved family.
