Two injured in collapse of Dallas Cowboys practice facility file lawsuit

Two men injured in the May 2nd collapse of the Dallas Cowboys practice facility have filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages, including pain and suffering, against a number of defendants involved in the construction of the facility. The Dallas Cowboys are not amongst the defendants named in the lawsuit.

The victims bringing the Texas personal injury lawsuit are special teams coach Joe DeCamillis and scouting aid Rich Behm. DeCamillis suffered a broken neck, and Behm was paralyzed from the waist down.

The Texas lawsuit accuses some of the defendants of conspiracy. According to allegations made in the suit, these defendants knew for at least two years that the facility was unsafe but covered up this fact. It also accuses the defendants of negligence.

Defendants named in the lawsuit include: Cover-All Building Systems, the designer-manufacturer of the facility, which is based in Canada; Wrangler Concrete Construction, which laid the facility’s foundation; Pennsylvania-based Summit Structures, a subsidiary of Cover-All; and JCI, a Las Vegas consulting firm.
