A bankruptcy court judge on Thursday approved a $24 million settlement by Chrysler in the death of a man who was run over by a Dodge pickup truck in 2004. The plaintiffs lawyers said Friday that their demand that Chrysler post an appeal bond after they won a $55.2 million verdict proved to be key once the automaker filed for bankruptcy in April. "Had we not gotten the judgment bonded, we would have been in line behind all the other creditors," said lead trial and appellate counsel Robert Nelson.
