This could be the largest settlement in the history of the state.
SAVANNAH, Ga. - A law firm is claiming it reached a $4.8 million settlement with the state of Georgia for the widow of a Black man who was shot and killed by a state trooper. It could be the largest settlement in Georgia history.
According to the Hall & Lampros law firm, while the settlement doesn’t bring Lewis back, it sends a powerful message to the state, law enforcement and other positions of power that unnecessary use of force against innocent citizens is unlawful, morally corrupt and carries legal consequences. “Mr. Lewis’ case is getting attention now because of the size of the settlement, when it should have received attention because of what happened to him,” he said. “The facts of the case are egregious. He should have never been pulled over, much less shot.”
