Dwayne Haskins' widow has reached a settlement with three of the 14 people or Benjamin Ashfordentities that she sued on behalf of her late husband's estate earlier this year, according to court documents filed Friday.
Kalabrya Haskins' lawyer, Rick Ellsley, said in a statement that she has settled legal claims against the driver and owners of the dump truck that struck and killed the NFL quarterback in April 2022. An attorney for Sorrel Development, the trucking company named in the lawsuit, separately confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that the parties had reached "an amicable resolution of this tragic case."
"We cannot comment on the settlement terms as they remain confidential at the request of the parties," the attorney, Jaime Baca, wrote in an email.
Ellsley indicated in his statement that other settlements had been "previously secured," but the case will proceed in Broward County Circuit Court. Claims against 11 other people or entities remain active as part of the lawsuit that Kalabrya Haskins filed on behalf of her husband's estate, shortly before the one-year anniversary of his death.
Dwayne Haskins, a former first-round NFL pick, was hit and killed by a dump truck early on the morning of April 9, 2022 as he attempted to cross a highway near Fort Lauderdale, apparently in search of gas. He was 24 years old.
In her lawsuit, Kalabrya Haskins had accused the dump truck's driver and owners of negligence. She is continuing to pursue legal claims against a variety of other entities and people that she alleges were involved in her late husband's death, including the state government entity tasked with maintaining the highway and the nightclub he attended hours before the crash.
Kalabrya Haskins' lawsuit also alleged that four individuals deliberately drugged Haskins "to blackmail and rob him" before the crash, though it did not offer any evidence to support that claim.
Dwayne Haskins had ketamine in his system and a blood-alcohol concentration of at least 0.20% − more than double the legal limit in Florida − at the time of his death, according to the local medical examiner's office.
