Westlake VillageJury tags Grossman, Erickson with additional $22.17M in punitive damages
The civil trial stemming from the 2020 tragedy that claimed the lives of two young Westlake Village brothers, Jacob and Zachary Iskander, reached another somber milestone this week. Jurors in Van Nuys Superior Court on June 10 ordered an additional $22.17 million in punitive damages against Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson, bringing the total judgment against the defendants to over $47 million. The award, reported by The Acorn (Westlake Village), is meant to punish the conduct that led to the fatal traffic collision that has shaken our community for years. For Westlake Village families, this case has been a painful reminder of the dangers on our local roads and the profound cost of reckless driving. While no amount of money can bring back the Iskander boys, this verdict sends a clear message about accountability. The community continues to rally around the Iskander family, and many hope this legal conclusion brings a measure of closure as our neighborhood heals from this devastating loss.
Westlake VillageJury finds Grossman, Erickson liable for $176 million in boys’ tragedy
A Ventura County jury has ordered Rebecca Grossman and Scott Erickson to pay $176 million in a civil case connected to the 2020 Westlake Village crash that killed brothers Mark and Jacob Iskander. Grossman is already serving a life sentence for murder in the tragedy, while Erickson—a former Dodgers pitcher—was also found liable. The verdict, reported by The Acorn, brings a measure of accountability beyond the criminal courts for a crash that devastated our community and left two young lives cut short. For Westlake Village families, this case has been a painful reminder of the fragility of life on our roads. The Iskander family’s years-long fight for justice underscores how deeply this loss has resonated across the 805 region. While no amount can undo the tragedy, this civil judgment sends a clear message about responsibility and the lasting impact of reckless actions in our neighborhoods.
Westlake VillageWestlake Village role in Grossman tragedy questioned on the stand
It’s hard to read the latest from *The Acorn* without feeling that familiar knot in your stomach. This week’s testimony in the civil suit brought by the Iskander family revisits that awful September 2020 night on Triunfo Canyon Road, where Rebecca Grossman’s SUV struck and killed young brothers Mark and Jacob. But what caught my ear was the defense’s new argument: that the crosswalk itself—our crosswalk—shared some of the blame. As a neighbor, it’s a tough pill to swallow. We all know that stretch of road near the Westlake Village Inn; it’s where we walk our dogs and push strollers. While nothing excuses the speed alleged in the criminal case, this testimony forces us to ask a quieter, harder question: Are our local streets as safe as we assume? The trial isn’t just about one driver’s choices—it’s a sobering reminder that we all share responsibility for the safety of our kids, whether behind the wheel or in the crosswalk.
