News: Wal-mart settles family of Tracy Morgan's friend killed in crash

Compensation time!
The family of James McNair, the comedian killed in the New Jersey Turnpike crash that also seriously injured Tracy Morgan, have settled a wrongful death claim with Wal-Mart.
Pleased with the result of the case: Jamel and Danita McNair, the children of James McNair, are interviewed in New York on Wednesday about the outcome of their wrongful death suit against Wal-Mart

The adult children of the 62-year-old comedian are said to be 'happy' with the undisclosed figure awarded for the accident on June 7 when a Wal-Mart 18-wheeler hit a limo carrying Morgan and his friend.
30 Rock star Morgan suffered a traumatic brain injury in the accident and his own lawsuit against Wal-mart is pending, while criminal charges against truck driver Kevin Roper are yet to be heard.

The out-of-court settlement between the company and the estate of James McNair is the first stemming from the June 7 crash in which a Wal-Mart truck slammed into a limo van carrying Morgan and the others home from a show in Delaware
