Deadly 2019 Boat Crash

A Hampton County judge has ruled that Mallory Beach’s wrongful death lawsuit will still be tried in Hampton County and that Parker’s Corporation and Alex Murdaugh will remain codefendants.

Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial is now four months in the rearview. Less than six weeks ahead, though, is another case he’s at the center.

A judge has ruled that Alex Murdaugh will be deposed for the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Mallory Beach.

A judge has denied the request from Parker’s Corporation asking to be dropped from a wrongful death lawsuit.

A Lexington County judge announced today that he will spend the next several weeks deciding if a lawsuit regarding the death of Mallory Beach will go before a jury.

An attorney working closely with the sale of the property says the deal is expected to be finalized next week for $3.7 million.

Nearly four years after a family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against disbarred attorney Alex Murdaugh and his family members, a judge approved a settlement agreement in the case, dropping the estate of Murdaugh’s wife and his surviving son.

Following a deadly boat crash in 2019 with ties to a prominent Lowcountry family, disbarred attorney Alex Murdaugh, along with his wife and two sons, would be thrust into a years-long saga of unveiled tragedies and criminal accusations.

The trial involving a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Mallory Beach, the 19-year-old girl killed when a boat allegedly driven by Paul Murdaugh crashed, has been pushed back.

The wrongful death lawsuit for Mallory Beach will go to trial next January with all defendants present, a judge ruled Tuesday.
