Settlements of at least $300,000 each are awaiting acceptance by the families of the seven people who died during the stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair in August, according to a release by Attorney General Greg Zoeller.
Compensation for one of the deceased estates would total $315,500, but only if the family chooses to accept the offer rather than taking it to court. Families of the deceased can reject the settlement offer, and the money would be redistributed using a formula the state has developed to compensate the victims.
