The parents and son of a man killed when his SUV was rear-ended by a moving van on a northwest Georgia expressway have settled their claims for $7.2 million.

According to plaintiffs attorney Joe Fried, substantial problems needed to be overcome before he and Fried Rogers Goldberg senior associate Brian Mohs were able to nail down the settlement. Among them: The man’s SUV was disabled in the middle of the road because of an accident he caused.
