New Sugarland Tour Dates and Sugarland Names Non-Parties As Causing Indiana Stage Collapse
Mario Massillamany, class action and investment fraud attorney of the Indiana law firm of Starr, Austen & Miller, LLP, announced today that “Sugarland is trying to place the blame on many other people and entities, for the stage collapse,” which occurred at the Indiana State Fair Grounds on August 13, 2011. Sugarland, through its recent answer to the complaint brought against the band, in the lawsuit entitled 'Jill Polet et al vs Sugarland Music, Inc et al', in Marion County Superior Court 14 in Indiana under cause number 49D14-1111-CT-44823, has named at least eight others individuals or entities, not named in the lawsuit, as bearing some fault or responsibility for the matter, not counting the victims themselves. At the same time Sugarland’s answer to the complaint completely disclaims any responsibility or fault of their own for this tragedy.
After filing this answer with the court, Sugarland’s manager, Gail Gellman, issued this statement to the Associated Press on February 21, 2012: “Sadly when a tragedy occurs, people want to point fingers and try to sensationalize the disaster. The single most important thing to Sugarland are their fans.” Scott Starr, a partner at Starr Austen & Miller LLP, takes issue with that statement, saying, “Sugarland’s stated concern for their fans seems at odds with their earlier carefully crafted legal answer to the Complaint disclaiming all duty towards these same fans.” READ FULL PRESS RELEASE
