John F. Buckley Jr. secured a $4.5 million settlement for his clients in a wrongful-death case, which alleged that police violated state policy in a high-speed chase of a minor that led to a deadly car crash.
The plaintiffs, Andrea Harnedy and Lisa LaSpina-Williams, as co-administrators of the estate of their sister Elena Laspino, brought the wrongful-death action against East Haven and police officers John Fraenza, Kevin McGuire, Ryan Michalowski and Sgt. Joseph Mulhern.
