how much did mallory beach family get
The Mallory Beach family’s main wrongful death settlement was for about 15 million dollars before legal fees and costs.
Core settlement amount
- Multiple reputable news outlets report that the family of Mallory Beach reached a wrongful death settlement under which the Beach family is to receive 15 million dollars tied to the 2019 boat crash case.
- That 15 million is part of a larger global settlement figure (around 18.5 million dollars total), with the remainder allocated to other survivors of the crash.
Where the money came from
- The 15 million dollars due to the Beach family comes from insurance carriers for Parker’s Kitchen and its founder Greg Parker, whose company was accused of providing alcohol to an underage Paul Murdaugh before the crash.
- Additional settlement money, separate from the 15 million, was designated for the four surviving passengers: amounts in the range of about 1.1 million for one survivor, 1 million each for two others, and roughly 400,000 for the last, depending on court approvals.
Other related settlements
- Court records later showed that the Beach family and some survivors also shared in a separate settlement with the estate of Maggie Murdaugh, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars combined plus a vehicle, though this was much smaller than the Parker’s settlement.
- Overall, lawyers’ fees and expenses across these settlements exceeded 5 million dollars, which reduced the net amounts actually received by the family and other plaintiffs.
