Walmart and Benedict P. Morelli, attorney for Tracy Morgan, Ardley
Fuqua, and Jeffrey Millea, today announced a settlement agreement,
ending a lawsuit against Walmart arising out of a multi-vehicle accident
involving the men on June 7, 2014, on the New Jersey Turnpike. The terms
and conditions of the settlement with Morgan and the other plaintiffs
remain confidential.
"Our thoughts continue to go out to everyone that was involved in the
accident," said Greg Foran, Walmart U.S. president and CEO. "While we
know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been
committed to doing what's right to help ensure the well-being of all of
those who were impacted by the accident. We worked closely with Mr.
Morelli, and we are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement that
ends this litigation. We are deeply sorry that one of our trucks was
involved."
Benedict Morelli stated, "Walmart and I worked diligently to reach this
settlement for the plaintiffs and their families. Walmart took full
responsibility for the accident, which we greatly appreciate."
Tracy Morgan said, "Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my
associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved
amicably."
