Iowa State University settles $3.5M with Ben-David family over 2021 rowing accident drowning.
Iowa State University has reached a $3.5M settlement with the family of Yaakov Ben-David, a student who drowned in a rowing accident in 2021. The State Appeal Board approved the settlement, which comes after the family of another student, Derek Nanni, agreed to a $2M settlement last year. Both students drowned when their rowing boat capsized in cold, rough waters during their first water practice. The Ben-David family's lawsuit alleged that the university was negligent in its handling of the crew club.
