It was recently announced that the Kentucky family who sued the federal government after the father and daughter were swept over a waterfall at a national park settled for $5 million. John Cox, Esq., one of Louisville’s leading trial attorneys of Lynch, Cox, Gilman & Mahan, P.S.C., represented the Estate. TechnoEsq Presentations is proud to have have had the opportunity to work on the settlement of this case.

The case involved a family hike at the Haleakala National Park in Hawaii in 2003. While on the trail, Kevin and Elizabeth Brown were washed away by a flash flood. Dr. Holly Brown brought the lawsuit against the federal government in an attempt to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again. At the time of the incident, a flash flood warning had been issued for the area; however, authorities did not notify the park’s visitors of the danger.

The location of the trail and waterfall were key issues in the case and TechnoEsq Presentations was hired to create a map animation of the Haleakala National Park which included photographs and video taken from various points within the park. Various dates and specific documents were integral in establishing the park’s ongoing failure to protect its guests and an elaborate timeline of the events was incorporated to establish these facts.
