New York has reached a $1.5 million wrongful death settlement with the family of a Massachusetts man who drowned in a destination waterfall within the Adirondack Park in Hamilton County in 2015, plaintiff’s counsel, McLaughlin & Stern said.

Settlement terms between Jennifer S. Calverley, representative of the estate of Dale S. Calverley, and the New York Attorney General’s office were reached after extensive litigation in the New York Court of Claims, and just prior to trial, McLaughlin & Stern said in a statement Monday.
