Catastrophe in Wood Dale: $13.4M Settlement Finalized Following Fatal 2015 Tent Collapse Incident
In a significant development, a settlement of $13.4 million has been reached in relation to the tragic tent collapse at the 2015 Prairie Festival held in northwest suburban Wood Dale, Illinois. The incident, which occurred during a sudden windstorm, resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, claiming the lives of Steven Nincic, 35, and Lorraine Nocek, 81.
The "Mega Tent" at the festival, intended to provide shelter from the elements, came crashing down, injuring over a dozen individuals. The settlement, announced by GWC Injury Lawyers, was reached due to the failure to meet safety standards and improper installation of the "Mega Tent".
Lawrence J. Amato, an attorney at GWC, stated that the tent collapse was preventable. He emphasised that had the "Mega Tent" been properly installed, it would have withstood the weather conditions at the festival. The settlement, while providing some form of financial relief, does not replace the loss of Steven Nincic and Lorraine Nocek.
The families of the two deceased individuals have received a settlement for the loss of their loved ones. The settlement aims to deliver accountability to those responsible for the tragic incident. However, the search results do not contain information about which company installed the mega tent at the Prairie-Festspiele 2015 in Wood Dale.
Over a dozen individuals were injured in the tragic tent collapse. While the settlement provides some form of financial relief, it is important to remember that the lives lost and those affected will carry the emotional scars of this incident for a lifetime. The Prairie Festival, once a joyous occasion, will forever be tainted by this unfortunate event.
