Fan sues Dallas Cowboys for ‘burned buttocks’


Fan sues Dallas Cowboys for ‘burned buttocks’


Less than a month ago, the Dallas Cowboys found themselves dismissed from the lawsuit several fans filed as a result of unfavorable conditions at Cowboys stadium during Super Bowl XLV. But it didn't take long for Jerry Jones' franchise to find itself right back on the hot seat -- this time, quite literally.

According to CBS Dallas, "Jennelle Carrillo, of Cleburne, received severe burns to her backside after allegedly sitting on a bench outside Cowboys Stadium." Carillo filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Tarrant County, Texas as a result of injuries allegedly suffered when she sat on a black marble bench outside the stadium before the team's Clue and Silver Scrimmage in August of 2010. Cowboys Stadium, L.P., the Dallas Cowboys Football Club LTD, and one Jerral "Jerry" Wayne Jones are all named as defendants.

Carrillo's attorney, Michael Wash, put it thusly: "She sat down on this black bench, outside an entrance and unfortunately she suffered third-degree burns as a result of it and had subsequent skin grafts." Wash said that his client was hospitalized for about a week.

And as it turns out, Carrillo didn't even stay for the game. "She knew, while she was there at the stadium, that she had received some burns. But she didn't realize how serious they were until she received medical attention." .................(more)
