The family of a 19-year-old man, whose death on a Seattle street in 2007 triggered a community outpouring for better bike-safety measures, has settled a lawsuit against the company that owned the dump truck that crushed him.
The parents of Bryce Lewis, Marc and Laura Paolicelli of Colorado, have agreed to an undisclosed sum of money from Nelson & Sons Construction of Woodinville, said the family’s attorney, John Christensen of Tacoma.
“Nelson & Sons stepped forward and did the right thing and the family was satisfied by their gestures,” Christensen said Tuesday.
The Seattle Wrongful Death Attorney for Nelson & Sons could not be reached for comment.
