WILLIAMSON – State Farm has agreed to pay $20,000 to settle the wrongful death claim concerning a 37-year-old Delbarton woman who died as a result of a car accident.
On April 18, Linda Brumfield, the mother of Chrystal Runyon, petitioned the Mingo County Circuit Court to approve the settlement. The proceeds of the settlement are to be distributed equally to Runyon’s two children.
