2 injured Cowboys workers settle with Jerry Jones
|
The attorney for two Dallas Cowboys employees seriously injured in the 2009 collapse of the team's practice facility says each has received about $5 million from companies controlled by team owner Jerry Jones as legal settlements.
Attorney Frank Branson told The Associated Press on Monday that lawsuits filed by scout Rich Behm (beem) and special teams coach Joe DeCamillis (day-kuh-MIL'-us) were settled Friday.
Behm was paralyzed from the waist down and DeCamillis suffered a broken vertebrae when the steel and fabric building collapsed in a wind storm on May 2, 2009.
The two previously settled with the builder, Summit Structures of Allentown, Pa. Branson says Behm received $19.5 million and DeCamillis was paid $4.5 million.
Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple says the team had no comment Monday.
