Parker's Kitchen, the store that sold beer to Paul Murdaugh before a fatal boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, has agreed to pay $15 million in a settlement to Beach's family. The incident set off a chain of events that led to the murder of Paul and his mother by his father, Alex Murdaugh, who was trying to cover up a scandal involving fraud and opioid addiction within the wealthy South Carolina family. The settlement serves as a warning to establishments that enable underage drinking, emphasizing the need to be held accountable for illegal alcohol sales.

Mallory Beach's Family Settles Boat Crash Lawsuit for $15m

The family of Mallory Beach, who was killed in a boat crash involving Alex Murdaugh's son, has reportedly settled a series of lawsuits for around $15 million. Most of the settlement money will go to Beach's family, with other passengers on the boat also involved in the lawsuits. The suits targeted Alex Murdaugh, the owner of the boat, and a store named Parker's where Murdaugh's underage son had allegedly bought alcohol before the crash. The settlement serves as a warning to alcohol retailers about their responsibility when selling to minors. Parker's insurers chose to settle to avoid potentially higher payouts due to Alex Murdaugh's infamy over his convictions in the murders of his wife and son.

Alex Murdaugh to be questioned in Mallory Beach boating death case.

Alex Murdaugh, a convicted murderer, has been ordered to face questioning in the wrongful death case of Mallory Beach, who died aboard the Murdaugh family's boat while Paul Murdaugh was driving in 2019. The family of Mallory Beach filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Murdaughs in 2019, and a trial date is set for August 14. The lawsuit stems from the evening of February 23, 2019, when Paul Murdaugh took five of his friends out on his family's boat for a ride along the South Carolina coast. Alex Murdaugh is accused of embezzling millions from his family's personal injury law firm and its clients.

Judge allows lawsuit against convenience store in fatal boat crash.

A judge has ruled that the convenience store, Parker's Kitchens, accused of selling alcohol to Alex Murdaugh's youngest son, Paul, before a fatal boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, can be sued in a wrongful death lawsuit. The ruling comes more than four years after Paul illegally purchased the alcohol from the store. The crash eventually became a central event in Paul's father's high-profile trial, with prosecutors arguing the crash may have fueled his decision to kill his wife and second-born son a few years later. The lawsuit filed by Beach's family against the store is now set to move on.
