Settled the case after the first day of trial for $725,000. The highest offer before trial was $250,000. The law firm of McGuire, Woods, Battle & Booth defended the action. Mr. Williams was a fiddler who had appeared regularly on Hee Haw and was injured when scaffolding at a Republican rally fell and struck him while he was performing. We claimed negligence by the volunteers for the Republican party in erecting the scaffolding.
