Wife of Minnesota Police Officer Killed in Head-on Collision with Drunk Driver, Settlement Confidential

Settlement/Verdict: Confidential

Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Wrongful Death
Client Injury: Death

One of the very first drunk driving fatalities in 2008 was the tragic tale of the Minnesota police officer who had his wife with him for a "ride along" on New Year's Day. In the early hours of the morning, a young woman was driving her vehicle on the wrong side of the freeway and struck his vehicle head-on, killing the officer's wife almost instantly. The woman who struck the police vehicle was so drunk that she couldn't even remember the accident.

The police officer hired Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey on behalf of himself and his deceased wife's next-of-kin. Cory Whalen was able to successfully recover $140,000 in an Uninsured Motorist claim for the officer and his wife's family.
