The Beach Family Lawyer Mark Tinsley also explained how legal and other fees came out of the settlement, leaving the family with about 10 million dollars. Mark Tinsley, who represents the Beach Family, says even until the end, Parker’s Corporation engaged in what he called “victim blaming,” but said the settlement speaks for itself. “We continue to send our condolences to the Beach family for their loss and will be filing a timely response to the Plaintiff’s false, baseless allegations.”Tinsley, meanwhile, says that means this healing process and legal process is far from over for the Beach family, but this is one step that is now behind them.
