Naya Rivera’s son will receive compensation for the tragic death of his mother

Naya Rivera was taking a ride with her four-year-old son on a boat on Lake Piru, northwest of Los Angeles, when they both jumped in for a swim. Unfortunately, she no longer came out afloat. According to authorities, Rivera used the last of her strength to pull the boy out of the water and into the boat to safety.

Since the horrific accident, the family has been arguing with authorities and even filed a lawsuit blaming Ventura County and Lake Piru administrators for the actress’s accidental death. Finally, both parties have already reached an agreement.

Naya Rivera’s family filed a lawsuit blaming Ventura County and Lake Piru managers for the actress’s accidental death. According to reports, the family claimed that the drowning was “totally preventable” as they say there was negligence.

In addition, they denounced that the boat did not have the appropriate safety equipment, since it lacked ladders, anchors or a radio with which help could be requested.

The family’s lawyer, Amjad M. Khan, confirmed that all the parties involved in the lawsuit have finally reached an agreement that will be approved by the court on March 16. In a statement, the lawyer mentioned that they are only waiting for the approval of the Superior Court of Ventura.

Although the tragic loss of Josey’s mother can never really be overcome, we are very pleased that the monetary settlement helps Josey with her life beyond this tragedy.

Amjad also explained that Naya’s son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, will be the one to receive fair compensation for having to witness his mother’s drowning in Lake Piru. The compensation will not bring his mother back, but at least the little boy will be able to live comfortably as his mother would have wanted.
