PITTSBURGH — This story initially appeared on SteelersNow.com

The wrongful death lawsuit involving former Pittsburgh Steelers quarter Dwayne Haskins has been settled and dismissed. The dismissal happened on Wednesday, according to attorney Rick Ellsley, who represented the Haskins estate. The terms of the settlements were not disclosed.

“All of the settlements that were obtained have now been paid and so the wrongful death case has now been closed,” Ellsley said.

Haskins was fatally struck by a dump truck in Florida in April of 2022.

Haskins was in Florida training with Steelers teammates, including fellow quarterback Mitch Trubisky and wide receiver Chase Claypool, who said he was close to being able to help Haskins before his death.

Haskins was attempting to cross the interstate to return to his vehicle, which had run out of gas, when he was hit by the dump truck in the center lane. He was also struck by a second vehicle. The drivers of both vehicles cooperated with the police investigation. Haskins had ketamine in his system and a blood alcohol content of at least .20%.
