Pike County Settlement In Vehicle Death
KENTUCKY...
A settlement in the wrongful death suit against Raven Crest Leasing of Pikeville, Ky. for the amount of 1.5 million dollars has been reached according to the law offices of A.J. Ryan. The case was the result of a Feb. 5, 2009 accident between Edward S. Potter, employee of Raven Crest Leasing, and Earl and Peggy Ratliff of Stone, Ky. The accident occurred on U.S. 119 in the vicinity of Sydney, Ky. and resulted in Peggy Ratliff’s death. The vehicles were traveling north toward Pikeville when the accident occurred. The settlement was awarded to Peggy Ratliff’s husband and administrator of her estate, Earl Ratliff, after Potter was found to have operated the vehicle negligently.
