STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports that Eric Garner's wife has agreed to accept a $5.9 million settlement with the city over the wrongful death of her husband. The settlement was reached earlier this month, and settlement details have not been disclosed, however, according to The NY Daily News, the city has not admitted liability. The settlement was reached over the chokehold incident that killed Eric Garner on July 17^th of last year after being placed in a chokehold and piled on by several NYPD officers. His famous last words, "I can't breathe," made headlines throughout the country, sparking awareness of police brutality as well as protests.
