The high-profile civil lawsuit filed by Nancy and Karim Iskander, the parents of Mark Iskander (11) and Jacob Iskander (8), is entering its final stage. Closing arguments are scheduled to begin Monday, June 1, 2026, at 9:00 AM at the Van Nuys Courthouse East in Los Angeles.

Background of the Case:

On September 29, 2020, the two young brothers were struck and killed while crossing the street with their mother in a marked crosswalk on Triunfo Canyon Road in Westlake Village, California.

Rebecca Grossman, a prominent socialite and co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation, was convicted in 2024 of two counts of second-degree murder and other charges. She is currently serving a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. Prosecutors alleged she was speeding (estimated around 80 mph in a 45 mph zone), under the influence, and racing with her then-boyfriend, former MLB pitcher Scott Erickson.

The Iskander family is pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit seeking substantial damages (reportedly up to $100 million) against:

• Rebecca Grossman
• Her husband, Dr. Peter Grossman
• Scott Erickson
• Their respective insurance companies

The civil trial, which began in late April 2026, has featured emotional testimony from the boys’ parents, first responders, and other witnesses.

This civil case focuses on financial accountability and additional liability beyond Grossman’s criminal conviction. The outcome could have significant implications regarding the involvement of the other parties and the total compensation for the Iskander family’s devastating loss.

The trial has drawn intense public attention due to the heartbreaking nature of the case and the high social profile of the defendants.
