A recently-filed lawsuit may be of interest to people in the District of Columbia. The case, filed in a California federal court, involves a military veteran who was seriously injured when a giant pine cone fell on his head.
According to news reports about the case, the man was taking a break under the tree while visiting a park. The pine cone fell on his head, necessitating two surgeries. Reportedly, he will also require another procedure. Court documents indicate that he suffered irreversible brain injuries as a result of the pine cone’s crashing down upon him.
The man has filed a personal injury lawsuit against the San Francisco Maritime Historical National Park, the Department of the Interior, the National Parks Service and the U.S. Government. Since the incident occurred, the park has blocked off the grove of trees and put up warning signs about the falling seed pods.
