Overview
- A settlement announced Friday in Broward County ended the trial, with Hill resolving the negligence claim for an undisclosed sum and Sophie Hall dismissing assault and battery counts.
- Jurors had already seen X-rays and heard Hall testify that Hill charged her during a June 2023 backyard drill at his Southwest Ranches home, causing a fracture that required surgery.
- Hill denied causing the injury, and his attorney argued Hall joined the drills by choice and more likely tripped over his dog during the play.
- The dispute was a civil claim for money, with filings and reports placing Hall’s demand in the $50,000 to $75,000 range, and such settlements often end cases without any admission of fault.
- The resolution closes this suit as Hill remains a free agent after his February release by the Miami Dolphins and continues to face separate legal and reputational issues reported in other cases.
