In 2020, after police officers and firefighters in Los Angeles, California, United States, released images of the helicopter crash that took the lives of Kobe and his daughter Gianna Bryant, Vanessa Bryan, the basketball player’s widow, filed a lawsuit against the authorities. County.
After three years of the trial and under the allegation of invasion of privacy, Vanessa obtained justice and now the authorities will have to pay her the large sum of 29 million dollars.
Vanessa has taken it upon herself to keep her family’s name clean and protect any trace of the tragic accident that killed her husband Kobe and her daughter Gianna Bryant, something that has not been easy, especially since the police and firefighters reported photographs of the bodies of Gigi and Kobe in the amphitheater.
Vanessa took action on the matter and sued the responsible authorities. After nearly three years of trial, she finally got the justice her family deserved from her.
Today marks the successful culmination of Ms. Bryant’s courageous battle to hold accountable those who engaged in this grotesque conduct. She fought for her husband, her daughter, and all those in the community whose deceased family was treated with similar disrespect. We hope that her victory at trial and this settlement will put an end to this practice.
This settlement now concludes all related litigation with the County related to the tragic helicopter crash of January 2020. We hope that Mrs. Bryant and her children continue to heal from their loss.
