Family Agrees to $13M Settlement Over Fatal DUI Crash
A wrongful death lawsuit involving the city of Seattle and the family of a Kokomo couple who died after being “struck by a habitual driver” recently settled for $13 million. The lawsuit was filed by the couple’s family against the city of Seattle and claimed that city “officials were negligent in keeping track” of the driver, Mark Mullan. Prior to the accident, Mullan had “five previous drunk driving arrests,” according to the lawsuit. Because of that, the family argued throughout the court proceedings that, “had Mullan been properly supervised, he would not have been behind the wheel on the day of the crash.”
