Chicago Cubs Face Lawsuit Wall Collapse that Killed Man
On August 21, attorneys filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Cubs on behalf of the mother of a 21-year-old who died after a wall near the team’s stadium collapsed on him during a storm in 2007. According to a report, the lawsuit says the Cubs owned the structure near Wrigley Field that fell on the young man.
The suit claims the wall was slated for demolition but the Cubs failed to cordon off the area.
The man who was killed took shelter by the wall after a powerful storm struck. Workers found the badly injured man while clearing the rubble and he died a week later of head and neck injuries.
When needless death occurs due to negligence of another party, wrongful death lawsuits can be filed. In these lawsuits, the decedent’s heirs sue the negligent party or parties for damages related to the loss of life and their own pain and suffering.
It is recommended that families who think their family member’s death was wrongful first contact a wrongful death attorney for a case assessment. If the case is valid, the attorney can help investigate the claim, gather evidence, represent them in court, and collect the compensation they deserve.
