Moore And Bertuzzi Settle Out Of Court

((HT: Sportsnet/Grange))

Michael Grange is reporting that Steve Moore and Todd Bertuzzi have agreed to an out-of-court settlement a little less than a month before their civil trial was set to begin.

Here's the incident that started it all- 10 years ago...

Bertuzzi apologized, but he eventually pleaded guilty to criminal assault causing bodily harm for the hit and was sentenced in 2006 to one year probation and 80 hours of community service.

Moore then filed a multi-million dollar civil suit against Bertuzzi and the call to settle the case was called after mediation in early August.

He, contrary to what Bertuzzi wished in the press conference above, has not fully recovered- as put forth in the anniversary back in March.

Bertuzzi would initially apologize in front of the Vancouver media...


And Moore still can't believe things haven't been solved...

Moore suffered three fractured neck vertebrae, facial cuts, and a concussion...
Bertuzzi was suspended for the remainder of the 2004 regular season...

The civil suit Moore has pending on Bertuzzi is set to be addressed in September

Moore-Bertuzzi Civil Case Set For 2012

((HT: CBC Sports))

A civil case former NHL'er Steve Moore has against Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks could be in court late next year.

The target date for the Ontario Superior Court trial to begin ((if there is no settlement)) is September 24th, 2012 if Bertuzzi is still an active player. If he's not, it's set for October 22nd if he's not.

Court-ordered mediation between the sides has failed to lead to a settlement.

Shocker, there...

Moore suffered three fractured vertebrae and said back in 2007 that it was not possible to undertake strenuous exercise for long stretches.

Here's the hit...
