New York Supreme Court Will Decide Settlement Owed Rapper Heavy D for New York Personal Injury Claims

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

National Union Fire Insurance Company lost its last appeal and a New York Supreme court will now determine an amount the insurance company must reimburse rapper Heavy D for suits the rapper paid out to victims of a stampede in 1991.

Heavy D, whose real name is Dwight Myers, purchased an insurance policy from the insurance company in 1989 to cover him while working as an entertainer. Nine people died in a stampede at a basketball game where he promoted himself and other rappers.

The state Supreme Court in Manhattan has not yet determined the amount National Union will have to pay the rapper. Myers is requesting nearly $1.5 million for the personal injury and wrongful death claims he paid out plus interest and legal fees.

I ask why was not the correct health and safety precautions in place to prevent a stampede, why should we lose countless lives everyday to accidents and think we can insure against death?
