Dwayne Haskins Lawsuit Dismissed After Settlements

A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estate of former NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins has been dismissed following a settlement reached with several defendants, including the driver of the dump truck that struck him. Haskins tragically died on April 9, 2022, while attempting to cross a highway in Florida, with investigations revealing he had a blood alcohol content of .20 and traces of ketamine in his system. The lawsuit, initiated by Haskins' widow, Kalabrya Haskins, alleged negligence on the part of various parties, including the truck driver and several businesses accused of allowing drug use. Attorney Rick Ellsley confirmed that all settlements have been paid, allowing the case to close. Haskins, who was 24 at the time of his death, was a former first-round draft pick, remembered for his college success at Ohio State.
