Familia demanda a negocios de Austin tras muerte por caída de un pacano

La familia de un hombre de Texas ha presentado una demanda alegando que dos negocios de Austin no dieron mantenimiento a un árbol enfermo que lo aplastó hasta la muerte en un restaurante de barbacoa.

Kirk Foyle, de 64 años, falleció el 20 de mayo después de que un pacano cayera sobre él mientras comía en la terraza al aire libre de Green Mesquite BBQ en Austin. El árbol, descrito como un "hacedor de viudas", se quebró durante las tormentas de la noche del 19 de mayo. La familia de Foyle presentó la demanda la semana pasada contra Green Mesquite y el negocio vecino Aspen Hatter. Esta afirma que ambas empresas sabían o debían haber sabido sobre la peligrosa condición de deterioro del árbol en la propiedad que controlaban, pero no lo inspeccionaron, podaron ni retiraron. La demanda busca al menos 1 millón de dólares en daños. El abogado Shawn Brown señaló que los propietarios responsables deben mantener los árboles enfermos para evitar tales tragedias. Green Mesquite y Aspen Hatter declinaron hacer comentarios sobre la demanda.
