Philadelphia Eagles Fans Are Suing Washington Commanders For Injuries Sustained When Railing Collapsed Last Year
Four Philadelphia Eagles fans who were injured after a railing collapsed at FedEx Field in Maryland in January are suing the Washington Commanders.
According to a report from ABC 7News in Washington, D.C., Michael Naimoli, Andrew Collins, Morgan French and Marissa Santarlasci, say they're still dealing with injuries they sustained when they fell from the stands onto the field at the end of a game between the Eagles and Commanders, who were known as the Washington Football Team at the time.
The lawsuit names the franchise, the company owning the stadium's rights and a security service for large crowds as defendants. Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder is also the owner of FedEx Field.
The fans, who all live in New Jersey, are each seeking compensatory damage in excess of $75,000 for their injuries, loss of income and medical bills, as well as punitive charges, according to The Washington Post.
