On New Year’s Eve 2012, Brett’s wife Susan, was tragically killed in an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver. Brett survived the accident sustaining a broken leg and arm. He filed a lawsuit with respect to his injuries which was settled in 2016 awarding compensatory damages of $60,000 and punitive damages of $10,000. 

Brett was the named beneficiary of Susan’s $100,000 life insurance policy. Brett was given the option by Liberty Mutual to either receive the entire proceeds as one payment in 2012 or to receive $25,000 per year for five years. Brett chose to receive the proceeds in installments, the fourth of which was received in February, 2016.
