Last year, Tracy Morgan’s limo bus was crashed into by a Wal-Mart tractor trailer, severely injuring the 30 Rock star and his fellow passengers, killing writer James “Jimmy Mack” McNair. Now, Walmart has the lawsuit that followed the accident. According to a statement made by Tracy Morgan, “Walmart did right” by him, his family and all the other victims of the crash.
Benedict Morelli, Tracy Morgan’s attorney about the settlement (via ABC News):
"Walmart and I worked diligently to reach this settlement for the plaintiffs and their families. Walmart took full responsibility for the accident, which we greatly appreciate."
Tracy Morgan also made a statement, writing:
“Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved amicably."
Walmart U.S. president and CEO,Greg Foran, also released a statement about the settlement, adding:
"Our thoughts continue to go out to everyone that was involved in the accident. While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what's right to help ensure the well-being of all of those who were impacted by the accident.
“We worked closely with Mr. Morelli, and we are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement that ends this litigation. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was involved."
