Death in Wal-Mart

I didn't expect to get this

Family of man trampled to death sues Wal-Mart

so fast, but I was waiting for it. I wonder, how is it so that a family of a 34-years old employee could afford a family attorney? :) or it would be more politically correct to call him "recently acquired family attorney"?

So what do they claim? The wrongful death

The lawsuit alleges that Damour's death was caused by the "wanton disregard for
public safety and gross negligence of the defendants."

. . . Hecht [attorney] also filed a notice of claim against Nassau County to preserve the family's right to file a lawsuit against its police department.

. . . On Tuesday, lawyers said two Nassau County men who claim they were injured at the store also are suing Wal-Mart. Their lawyers also filed a notice of a $2 million claim against the Nassau County Police Department.



I think before Christmas we will see articles "Family of man trampled to death in a Wal-Mart sale settled for undisclosed amount."
