Jaade Moore is suing William Redfearn for striking and killing their father as he waited with his disabled vehicle in a grassy area of the northbound emergency lane on Interstate 85

In a recent decision by the Court of Appeals of Georgia, the court upheld a trial court’s ruling denying William Redfearn’s motion to enforce a settlement agreement with Jaade Moore and Sierra Moore. The case stems from an incident where Redfearn allegedly struck and killed the plaintiffs’ father on Interstate 85. The plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages. Redfearn contended that he had accepted all material terms required under Georgia law for settlement agreements, but the trial court found that State Farm, his insurer, failed to meet specific conditions outlined in the plaintiffs’ offer. These included requirements about payment endorsements and document language consistency. The appellate court affirmed this decision, emphasizing that there was no mutual agreement or “meeting of the minds” due to these discrepancies.
