Kim Delaney Settles Hit-and-Run Lawsuit
25 May
Summary
- Actress Kim Delaney settled a hit-and-run lawsuit this week.
- The settlement resolves claims from a 2022 motorcycle collision.
- Delaney alleged her celebrity status endangered her during the incident.
Actress Kim Delaney has reached a settlement in a hit-and-run lawsuit filed against her. The legal action originated from an incident in 2022, where Dzhamal Badalov alleged Delaney struck his motorcycle while he was stopped at a red light. According to court documents, Badalov claims Delaney attempted to flee the scene but was initially detained by bystanders before driving away after a phone call.
Badalov further alleged that Delaney appeared intoxicated and was observed driving erratically. However, Delaney countered this assertion, informing a judge earlier this year that she left the scene due to concerns for her safety stemming from her "perceived celebrity status." The settlement was finalized this week and is unconditional, with a dismissal request due within 45 days of the May 19 settlement date.
A final status conference for the case is scheduled for June 2.
