Buffalo, NY Closes in on a $2.25 Million Settlement Over the Death of a Child
Just over six years ago, an awful tragedy occurred in the City of Buffalo. A driver on the Scajaquada Expressway veered off the road and crashed into a family that was walking at Delaware Park. Maksym Sugorovskiy, who was 3-years-old, was killed and his sister, who was five years old, was seriously injured and their mother was also injured in the crash.
After the crash, the Sugorovskiy family sued the City of Buffalo, Erie County, and the driver.
The City of Buffalo’s Law Department is now recommending that Buffalo Common Council members approve a $2.25 million settlement with the Sugorovskiy family. The settlement was approved by lawmakers during a claims committee virtual meeting on Monday, but still needs to be approved by the full council. It’s possible this could happen as soon as Tuesday.
