Follow Up to Our September 18, 2010 Post.
In our September 18, 2010 post, we reported on a $291,534.04 costs/disbursements award entered against Chris and Lori Coble, who lost a wrongful death lawsuit against Caltrans arising from a truck-car accident taking the lives of their three children.
We can report that Caltrans and the Cobles (as well as Lori’s mother Cindy Maestri) have reached a settlement by which they will pay $75,000 in satisfaction of the costs/disbursement award. This follows on the heels of an appeal of the judgment in the wrongful death case. More details can be found in Erika I. Ritchie’s story in the April 17, 2011 edition of The Orange County Register.
