An Australian widow whose cyclist husband died here after being hit by a taxi received about $4.3 million last month - believed to be the largest reported payout for an accident dependency claim here.
The High Court-approved payout, which was mutually agreed by the parties involved, capped a settlement reached some four years after the tragedy and a year after insurers for the taxi driver accepted 100 per cent liability.
