$1.8M Settlement for Auto Accident Wrongful Death

The estate of a man who died when an impaired driver broadsided his vehicle has settled its wrongful death suit for $1.8 million, the estate’s attorney reports.

Mark Bringardner represented the estate of a 49-year-old man who was driving his SUV on Shiloh Road in Anderson County on August 21, 2021, when a sedan driven by Deonte Lowery plowed into the driver’s side of his vehicle at approximately 90 mph. Bringardner said that he was attempting to turn left onto U.S. 29 when the crash happened, igniting both vehicles.

Bringardner said that he died at the scene. According to police reports, Lowery was injured and taken to a hospital. He was later charged with felony driving under the influence resulting in death, court records show.

Bringardner said that the man, who left behind a wife and teenage daughter, was a pianist, composer, church music director, and educator whose loss is “incalculable.”

“Thankfully, the insurance carriers and defense counsel were very cooperative through the process and the settlement amount reflects a full tender of all liability and UIM bodily injury and property damage insurance policy limits,” Bringardner said.
