The family of Kobe Bryant reached a $28.5 million settlement with Los Angeles County over a lawsuit involving photos taken at the scene of the helicopter crash that killed Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others.
A federal jury last August awarded $15 million in damages to Vanessa Bryant over emotional distress caused by the photos.
The verdict in the August case was initially read as $16 million, but was later changed to $15 million.The $28.5 million settlement resolves future claims by Bryant's surviving daughters and other potential related issues,"Today marks the successful culmination of Mrs. Bryant's courageous battle to hold accountable those who engaged in this grotesque conduct," Vanessa Bryant's attorney Luis Li said in a statement.
"She fought for her husband, her daughter, and all those in the community whose deceased family were treated with similar disrespect," Li said.
