Woman Killed by Falling Tree in Park: Children Settle, Husband Declines

The adult children of a 63-year-old woman who was killed by a falling tree limb in a Florida park have accepted settlements of $5,000 each, reports the Tampa Tribune. The woman's husband, who was married to her for over 40 years, declined to settle, and the case may be headed to trial. The wrongful death lawsuit claimed that the city should have known that the tree was damaged and at risk of snapping. The Tampa Tribune said that the woman was sitting at a picnic table when the tree limb struck her.
