Lightning Takes Boy Scout : Parents File Lawsuit

A 16 year old boy involved with the Boy Scouts of America was killed by lighting at a summer camp when campers were sent to their campsites during a lightning storm instead of being herded indoors. The outraged parents filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America over the issue, claiming that the defendants should not have released the 350 scouts into the dangerous weather, jeopardizing many Scouts and tragically terminating their son. The Boy Scouts negligence was the cause of their son's death, parents say. The family and scout leaders involved came to a settlement decision on Thursday, June 15, 2006. Details of the settlement have been kept confidential.

If you or someone you know has been injured by negligence, please feel free to contact a personal injury lawyer specializing in personal injury and negilgence such as Wooten and Honeywell of Orlando, Florida.
