Tracy Morgan sustained traumatic brain injury, broken femur, broken nose and broken ribs in the accident.
In a statement, the former ’30 Rock’ star said: ‘Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved amicably.’
His lawyer, Benedict P. Morelli added: ‘Walmart and I worked diligently to reach this settlement for the plaintiffs and their families. Walmart took full responsibility for the accident, which we greatly appreciate.’
Walmart previously insisted it was ‘committed to doing what is right’ for everyone concerned as the truck driver was said to have been fatigued when the accident occurred.
Walmart previously reached a confidential settlement with the family of Tracy’s close friend, James McNair, who was killed in the accident, in January.
