After the case of the case, a lawyer representing the Okif family, Mark Deller, said that he expected the lawsuit “will move forward, work as usual, and now after the end of the criminal issue,” according to Boston Globe.

Fox Business connects to Diller to comment on the case.

In the lawsuit, members of the Okif family claim that reading has been responsible for the death of Okif for more than three years and for neglect and/or reckless damage of emotional distress to family members, among other claims. It also submitted claims against two barren, CF McCarthy’s and Waterfall Bar & Grill.

Reading has denied claims. The barrier also denied these claims, according to The Globe.

Spencer Covein, the chief legal official of Goldlao, told Fox Business that the possibility of the case or its leveling “could rely on whether it has insurance that can cover it for this cover.”

He said that the case is likely to be tried “likely” to be able to read the coverage of responsibility Through insurance.

Jimmy Wright, the lawyer for the trial in Los Angeles and the founder of the Wright Law Company, said settlements are common in lawsuits, but the reading situation is “distinguished”.

“You might fight this until the end if she believed that she was subjected to railways and wants her entire story,” said Wright. “On the contrary, the plaintiffs may try to reach a settlement if they are afraid that they will be on the platform or expose themselves to scrutiny.”

Kovin said that the settlements “are always a compromise to demand a disputed, so they are always less general than judgment, because you must put the possibility of zero.”

He said: If the Okif family lawsuit has been tried and read, the damage will be “no matter how reasonable jury.”

“Therefore, he will look at economic losses, which will include the wages lost for the rest of the young man, and any money he had earned over his life that lost. After that it will be up to the jury to determine a good amount of pain and suffering from the survivors who left behind,” he told Fox Business, ”

“These damages can be in many dollars because it establishes the lives of a member of his family, and this is very difficult.”

“Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, may” be “at stake” and may not pay insurance “for everything”, based on the claim.

Kovin said that the jury “will determine the total scale of the damage” and then “the percentage of the error of all the defendant”, which “will control who is responsible for paying what.”

“but In Massachusetts, Even if you only have a small percentage, you are responsible for paying the full amount, but then you can restore it from other defendants who are partially mistaken. ”

If the jury will be governed in favor of reading, it “does not have to pay and its name has been wiped if it only defends itself,” according to Right.

However, it can move away from the actual money if it returns and filed a lawsuit, perhaps for defamation, the malicious prosecution or something similar, “noting that this path is” difficult. ”

With pictures Fox’s work The ruling on re -reading “does not mean anything at all in the Civil Court.”

“The criterion for proof in the criminal court is very high. It is undoubtedly doubt that this is essentially any doubt that you have, you should say” no “. In the Civil Court, our criterion is just a predominance of evidence.”

He thought that the evidence provided by the prosecutors in the re -trial was “very convincing” and said that “this type of evidence, with the greatest weight, could lead to a ruling for the family of the deceased.”

In Wright’s opinion, Rad’s chances of winning the lawsuit “are better than before, but it is not in any way reassured” after the recent re -trial.

She also indicated that the level of proof of the lawsuits was “a much simpler hill for climbing”, but she said I read “the gains of momentum from innocence.”

Karen has read the first time since a high -risk experience, and relieves routine

“The evidence has already been put on the test once, and the case weakens it,” Wright said.
