Guy Suing Brandy Impossible, Lawyers Say

Posted Feb 17th 2009 4:45PM by TMZ Staff

BrandyThe man whose wife died in the Brandy car crash has rejected a big settlement -- and his lawyers have had enough of him.

You'll recall Awatef Aboudihaj was killed in 2006 after her car was struck by Brandy's Range Rover on the 405 Freeway in L.A.

The victim's husband, Marouane Hdidou, their two kids, the victim's parents and another car accident victim got a $1.2 million settlement offer. Under the deal, the insurance company would pay $1 million and Brandy would personally pay $200,000. Hdidou rejected the offer and the deal went south.

Hdidou's lawyers have had it, claiming their client's cut would have been $300,000, which they call "excellent."

They say he just won't listen to reason so they want off the case.

1. 1.2 Million settlement and the guy, whose wife was killed and whose children have lost their mother, would only get $300,000, and his lawyers say that's a good settlement? That's ridiculous. The attorneys are getting way too much money. He should find other counsel.

2. Greed!

3. Only $300k for taking away his wife and to support his 2 kids? Never use a whole bunch of lawyers they take all of your money. He should get more money

4. While I do agree that the husband is greedy, I fail to see how $300,000 of $1.2 mil is "excellent."

5. $1.2 million is nothing and Brandy only has to pay $200K? Doesn't hurt her pocket at all considering the Goldmans got a $33 million judgement from OJ. The victim's husband originally filed for a $50 mil deal. Honestly, I think the guy wants Brandy to personally go bankrupt. lol. Even though she was found not criminally guilty by the court all accounts from witnesses said it was her fault. Maybe she can borrow from Ray J... since he's mooching off Whitney Houston.

6. $300K for losing your spouse and the mom to two kids, he should get more, Brandy was negligent and should personally pony up more than 200K, I understand the max with the insurance company but she needs to pay and she should have been criminally charged, imo.

7. 300,000 out of 1.2 = excellent............i guess lawyers don't need to be good at math. I have to side with the client on this one.

8. I understand we live in a litigious society and that at times this is to our detriment, however, here, in this specific case, $1.2 million seems like pennies for a mother's death when people who get sick, lose limbs, lose function, hell get coffee spilled on them get much, much more. This money is to be split 4 ways plus the lawyers who will be taking a generous cut. He has suffered not only the death of his wife and the mother of his children but being thrust into the spotlight as well. We pay hefty insurance premiums not in the event that we damage our car but for these express events. To me this seems like a case where the insurance company and Brandy are trying to get out of it without doling out much cash and the lawyers stepping out with their cut without putting in the work.

9. I dont think the husband is greedy, c'mon he lost his wife!! Kids lost their mother, 300k is an exellent reward for that? i think not. Those damn lawyers always want to keep most of the money, there should be a law that limits lawyers how much money thet can collect.

10. I think the lawyers mean it is an excellent deal for them!

11. first of all it's not greed, brandy should pay all she has... Money will not replace a dead person... I can't believe Brandy is getting away with this. If it were a none famous person he/ she that killed this lady due to not paying attention to the road/speed limit they'd be in jail right now.

12. BRING IT TO COURT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGREE WITH THE HUSBAND. $300k IS NOTHING FOR LOSING YOUR WIFE AT THE HANDS OF BRANDY. SHE'S GUILTY IN CIVIL COURT AND TRYING TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. NICE SHE HAD A LARGE BIRTHDAY BASH IN LA LIKE SHE CARES...

JUDGEMENT SUCKS BIG TIME. LET'S SEE BRANDY'S CROCODILE TEARS ON THE DOCKET!!! GO TO COURT.

14. 300k? for killing someone? what is this world coming 2? The lawyer gets 40 to 50% of that come on that's not enough for a family that lost a mother/wife because some moron was not paying attention to the road.. shame on you BRANDY

15. I hope they mean $300,000 for the lawyers not the client. I've never heard of a contingency case where the Attys get over 70%. It seems the client isn't the only one being greedy!
