The Piscitelli Law Firm has secured a $1.1 million settlement for the family of a 7-year-old boy who died in an all-terrain vehicle accident. The case involved an adult operating the ATV while under the influence with the child positioned between his legs, resulting in a collision with a chain stretched across a driveway that caused the boy's death.
The family pursued legal action based on claims of negligence against both the impaired driver and the ATV owner who permitted the intoxicated operation. Following a comprehensive investigation, lead attorney Frank Piscitelli negotiated the settlement that provides financial stability for the family and resources to honor their child's memory. Piscitelli stated that while no amount of money can replace a lost life, the settlement ensures accountability for those responsible and brings a measure of justice to the clients.
