The first wrongful death lawsuit after the stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair has been filed. The collapse killed 6 people and injured around 50 others. Some are still in the hospital as a result of their injuries.
The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Tammy VanDam from Wanatah, Indiana. She was 42 when the stage collapsed on her as a result of a storm during a concert. The lawsuit has been filed by Tammy’s life partner Beth Urschel, 49.
Defendants named in the lawsuit include Live 360 Group, Live Nation Entertainment, and Mid-America Sound Corp. The Indiana State Fair Commission and the state are also named in the lawsuit, but only for the purpose of evidence preservation.
The lawsuit says that the stage was built without an inspection or permit and it did not meet the standards of OSHA. The lawsuit also states that the event planners did not heed the warnings of the approaching storm.
