PANAMA CITY (AP) — An attorney for two Indiana teenagers who were seriously injured in a Florida parasailing crash says a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by one of the victim's parents.
Wes Pittman, an attorney for Alexis Fairchild and Sidney Good, tells WXIN-TV "the financial settlements in this case will go a long way toward making their lives much easier."
More information will be released Tuesday during a 10 a.m. news conference in downtown Panama City.
The Huntington, Indiana, teenagers were seriously injured in July 2013 in Panama City Beach when the rope tethering their parasail to a boat snapped, causing them to crash into a building, a power line and vehicles.
Fairchild's parents sued parasail operator Aquatic Adventures Management Group, its owner and Treasure Island Resort Rentals.
