PHILADELPHIA — A state appeals court has vacated a $700,000 personal injury verdict stemming from a bathroom fight at a Philadelphia Eagles football game.
Dallas Cowboys fan Patrick Pearson sued the Philadelphia Eagles, the Eagles stadium operator and security firm Executive Services Management after he was injured at Lincoln Financial Field in December 2014. After a Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas judge denied the defendants’ motions for summary judgment, the trial jury found the team and stadium 50 percent responsible for Pearson’s injury through negligence, assigned 30 percent of the blame to the security force’s negligence and 20 percent to Pearson directly, awarding him $700,000 in damages.
Following post-trial motions, the court awarded Pearson delay damages of $10,897 from the team and stadium and $6,156 from the security firm. The court denied the team and stadium operator’s post-trial motions, prompting their appeal to the Superior Court, which issued its opinion Oct. 11. Mary Murray wrote the opinion. Judge Gene Strassburger filed a concurring opinion. Judge Dan Pellegrini joined both opinions.
