The estate of O.J. Simpson is agreeing to a $57.9 million creditor claim filed by Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, for the decades-old wrongful-death judgment stemming from the 1994 killings of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
The approval was filed in Clark County, Nevada, marking a significant step in efforts to recover the civil award ordered after Simpson was found liable in 1997.
While the estate’s acceptance confirms the validity of the debt, it does not guarantee when or how much money will be paid. Court records show the claim covers the original $33.5 million judgment plus years of accumulated interest.
Simpson died in April at age 76, leaving behind an estate now tasked with resolving outstanding liabilities before any remaining assets can be distributed.
The Goldman family has pursued enforcement of the civil judgment for nearly three decades. This latest action moves that process forward, but final recovery will depend on the valuation and liquidation of Simpson’s estate.
