The lawsuit named over a dozen defendants in the death of the former NFL quarterback.
The lawsuit further accuses the state of neglecting to implement lower speed limit signs in a construction zone, which may have led to the fatal crash.
According to ESPN, the family of Haskins has agreed to “partial settlements” with the driver, the owner, and the broker of the dump truck.
