OT: Settlement in Declan Sullivan Case

http://news.yahoo.com/state-settles-notre-dame-students-death-145545212....

It looks like they've reached a settlement, the substance of which includes contributions to a memorial for Sullivan and a campaign on the dangers of scissor lifts.

Cynicism abounds. I hope Sullivan's family takes some comfort from this but somehow I doubt it. Hopefully they've taken some comfort from their faith.

This story continues to be so sad.

A tragedy, but we don't need any more warning labels.

If everyone who has lost a loved one had their own personal campaign, we wouldn't be allowed out of our bubbles.

ND setttlig with IOSHA, not with Sullivan's heirs.

ND was settling its state civil-infraction case.  And getting out of a charge of a "knowing infraction."

Since it is Notre Dame, I don't much care and haven't been following the story; but has the school settled with Sullivan's heirs?  If they haven't, avoiding a civil infraction of a "knowing infraction" of OSHA regulations might make an awful claim to defend slightly less awful to defend.

From the accounts I've heard,

From the accounts I've heard, the Sullivan's don't have any interest in a lawsuit.

Totally their right. But no, they are not pursuing a lawsuit.

A memorial fund set up in his name & a safety campaign

From SportingNews.article:

<blockquote>A spokesman for Sullivan's parents said the family was satisfied with the settlement, particularly the nationwide safety campaign.

"There can be no better way to remember Declan than to help others avoid future tragedies," Sullivan's uncle, Mike Miley, wrote by e-mail. Miley and Notre Dame both said the amount of money Notre Dame was contributing to the memorial was a private matter. </blockquote>

EDIT:  Okay, I obviously miss that cute little box I could click to get the blockquote.  But you get the idea.
