Receive $6.1 mil from whom?


quote:

The jury found Isto was 2% at fault for Gruver's death, which means the family will receive roughly $122,000 after the trial, in addition to the settlements they reached. It's not clear what those amounts are; in December, the plaintiffs struck an $875,000 settlement with LSU, a university spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.


From the embedded advocate article.

The Gruvers sued LSU, Phi Delta Theta, and multiple fraternity members over their sons death. By the time of the civil trial this week, they had reached settlements with all defendants accept fraternity member Ryan Matthew Isto and his insurance company.

What insurance company did one of the frat brothers have?

I assume the fraternity itself has some type of liability policy at the premises but this wording is confusing.

Can't see the article bc advocate paywall, but it looks like they won't be receiving anywhere near that $6.1M.

Based on what you quoted, they settled with everyone but Isto. His part will be up to $122k, I'm sure his insurance company will settle that number down. So, unless they already received $6M in total settlements; that number is just to grab attention.

Am curious how they decided on $6M. Assumed future earnings?

"accept"

What shitty journalism.

And what kind of insurance does a college kid have? His parent's homeowners or umbrella? I would be shocked if that covered this.
