BRADENTON PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: Jury Awards 16-Year-Old’s Family $1.5 Million From IMG In Negligence Law Suit
Bradenton’s IMG Academy was found negligent by a jury and has to pay the estate of a teenage basketball player $1.5 million after two days of deliberation. In a story on BradentonHerald.com it says the family of Christian Chalita had requested $15 million from the school that caters to students who aspire to become professional athletes.
A Bradenton doctor and local nurse were also found to be negligent for not discovering that Chalita had an irregular shaped heart that may have led to his heart attack and death while he was on a treadmill. The jury found those three parties 54% responsible for the death but also found the young man’s mother 46% responsible since she knew the boy’s father died at 33 of a heart condition that could have been passed on to her son.
