An interesting legal question might have to be answered in conjunction with the right to recover damages in the Indiana State Fair stage collapse on August 13th.
Attorney Ken Allen, a wrongful death attorney, filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of Beth Urschel whose partner, Tammy Van Dam, died as a result of the tragedy. The suit was filed August 19th. Urschel and Van Dam were wed in Hawaii. But Van Dam also has a daughter. It will be interesting to see if the courts allow Tammy’s daughter or Urschel to receive any money awarded.
