$20M Settlement Reached In Verrückt Water Slide Tragedy
Earlier this year, a settlement was reached between the family of Kansas State Representative, Scott Schwab and the owner of the Schlitterbahn Water Park as a result of the tragic death of their 10-year-old son, Caleb Schwab. According to court documents, the family will receive nearly $20 million in settlement payments from the companies involved in the 10-year-old boy’s death on the Verrückt water slide, though at the time of the settlement agreement back in January, it was unclear how much each party would be required to pay. Now, more details have emerged, revealing that the Schwab family settlement might be the “largest settlement of its kind paid in a wrongful death case involving a minor in either Kansas or Missouri.”
