A Los Angeles County jury has returned a $198.17 Million verdict holding Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson liable for the deaths of Mark and Jacob Iskander, who were tragically killed in 2020 while crossing the street with their family in a marked crosswalk. The jury’s award includes $176,000,000 in non-economic damages and $22,170,000 in punitive damages, recognizing the profound and immeasurable loss the Iskander family has endured over the past six years and will continue to endure in the future.
Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP attorneys Brian Panish, Andrew Owen, Andrew Gianelli, and Diana Panish were honored to represent the Iskander family in their pursuit of accountability.
"This case was about choices—dangerous, reckless, and selfish choices that cost two young boys their lives," said lead trial attorney Brian Panish.
