The model and fashion blogger who was severely disfigured when she walked into a small plane propeller has reached a settlement with an insurance company after initially rejecting a $200,000 compensation offer.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Lauren Scruggs was suing Aggressive Insurance Services, the insurer of the plane and pilot, Curt Richmond, involved in her horrific December 2011 accident, and had asked a court to define whether she was considered a “passenger’’ under the terms set forth by the insurance company.

Curt Richmond, the pilot of the fateful flight in which Lauren Scruggs walked into a live plane propeller, told air officials he raised his arm and loudly warned the 23-year-old model & fashion blogger to step behind the plane before she made impact with it.

“Upon noticing that she was exiting in front of the strut, the pilot leaned out of his seat and placed his right hand and arm in front of her to divert her away from the front of the airplane and the propeller,” according to a report released by the National Transportation Safety Administration. “He continued to keep his arm extended and told the passenger that she should walk behind the airplane.”

Richmond has stayed mum since the horrifying incident, which took place on December 3 at Aero County Airport in McKinney, Texas (about 30 miles away from Dallas) following a flight on an Aviat A1-B in which Scruggs was checking out Christmas lights from overhead.
