Mashantucket Pequot Gaming Enterprises, which operates Foxwoods, had agreed to pay the 68-year-old Murch $2.9 million in actual damages and for the pain and suffering he endured following the November 2006 valet-parking accident that caused him to have his right leg amputated above the knee.

The driver of the standard-transmission vehicle that struck Murch, which had been parked two to three car lengths behind Murch's car, had left it in first gear without engaging the parking brake. While standing outside the vehicle, a valet reached in and started the engine. The vehicle shot forward.

”… It appears Rich (Murch) was initially crushed between the two vehicles, and the force of the collision propelled Rich's car forward,” court documents say. “The (other vehicle) continued forward and knocked Rich down.”

A valet had to get into the vehicle and restart it to get it off Murch's legs, the suit says.

Under the agreement reached Thursday, MPGE and its insurance company, Liberty Mutual, will pay Murch $2,925,000. The company that insured the owner of the vehicle that struck Murch will pay $100,000, bringing the total settlement to $3,025,000.
