Atlanta Wrongful Death Car Accident Lawyer: $10M Settlement Case Announced
Nov 14, 2023
Summary
Atlanta-based law firm, Butler Kahn, has reached a $10 million settlement for the family of a 76-year-old woman who was killed by a speeding driver. The victim, Rosie Minor, was fatally struck while making a left turn when another driver, Nikia Cherry, who was driving 28 MPH over the speed limit, crashed into her in a t-bone accident. Butler Kahn obtained evidence of the offending driver's negligence, including eyewitness reports of dangerous driving and phone records showing cell phone use while driving. The law firm also acquired security footage and collaborated with computer graphics experts to recreate the crash. Initially, the police report blamed Ms. Minor for the accident, and Ms. Cherry's insurance company rejected Butler Kahn's demand for a full insurance payout. Butler Kahn decided to pursue legal action on behalf of Ms. Minor's family and the case went to trial. Just before the verdict, the insurance company accepted a counter-settlement offer of $10 million. During the trial, one of Ms. Minor's daughters forgave Ms. Cherry, and Ms. Cherry and her family were welcomed into the church that Ms. Minor had dedicated her life to. Butler Kahn is praised by a recent client for their communication and assistance in building a strong case. For more information, visit the Butler Kahn website.
Atlanta-based law firm Butler Kahn (678-972-1831) has announced that it recently ended a case with a $10 million settlement for the grieving family of a 76-year-old woman killed by a speeding driver.
Atlanta, United States - November 14, 2023 /PressCable/ —
With this announcement, Butler Kahn details the tragic death of Rosie Minor - an ordained minister and Bible study leader who was struck and killed while turning left from Memorial Drive onto Hearthstone Drive. Ms. Minor seemingly had enough time to turn safely, but another driver, Nikia Cherry, who was going 28 MPH over the speed limit, crashed into Ms. Minor in a fatal t-bone accident.

In a recently published case study review, the law firm also details the evidence they obtained that found the offending driver to be negligent. These include eyewitness reports of the speeder swerving around another vehicle and phone records indicating she was using her cell phone while driving. Butler Kahn further bolstered its defense by acquiring security footage from a nearby house and working with computer graphics experts to recreate the crash.
Despite the significant evidence against the other driver, the initial police report blamed Ms. Minor for her fatal wreck. Ms. Cherry’s insurance company also rejected the firm’s demand for an insurance payout of the full insurance limits.
With the insurer refusing to settle the case, Butler Kahn decided to fight a lengthy legal battle to obtain financial compensation for Ms. Minor’s loved ones. The insurance company retained defense attorneys, who hired their own accident reconstructionist and argued that Ms. Minor had caused her death by failing to yield the right of way.
The case eventually went to trial, during which the firm’s attorneys argued the facts while the Minor family testified to the late woman’s character. Just seconds before the verdict was due, the insurance company accepted a counter-settlement offer from Butler Kahn for $10 million.
During the trial, one of Ms. Minor’s daughters met with Ms. Cherry and forgave her. After the settlement, Ms. Cherry and her family were welcomed as members of the church that Ms. Minor had dedicated much of her life to.
A recent Butler Kahn client said about the firm, “I can't say enough good things about Butler Kahn. They kept me filled in on every part of the legal process. Big shout out to Tom Gianotti for helping me build a strong case for my bicycle accident. Helpful, kind, professional, efficient.”
