Proven verdicts and settlements
The family of Jackson Reavis, 22, killed at a Wedgwood intersection Seattle knew was dangerous, settled with the City for $6.5 million after evidence showed the City had already allocated funding for protective left-turn signals but abandoned the project before the fatal crash.
The family of Giovonn Joseph-McDade, an unarmed 20-year-old Black man shot and killed by a Kent Police officer in 2017 following a traffic stop for expired registration, settled their federal civil-rights and wrongful-death lawsuit against the City of Kent for $4.4 million in April 2021.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
