KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) The estate of a Florida plastic surgeon who died in 2019 when his small plane crashed in a central Indiana farm field shortly after takeoff has settled its lawsuit with the city of Kokomo.
The estate of Daniel Greenwald will get a $700,000 payment the maximum allowed under Indiana’s tort claim laws through the city’s insurer, the Kokomo Tribune reported, citing court documents.
A Howard County judge approved the settlement on Tuesday.
Greenwald, 59, died in the October 2019 crash after an employee at the Kokomo Municipal Airport put the wrong fuel in the Tampa man s twin-engine Piper Aerostar 603P, according to the lawsuit filed by his widow, Julie Greenwald, and Greenwald s estate.
