ST. LOUIS • A St. Louis jury has delivered a $5.2 million verdict in a wrongful death and personal injury lawsuit over a tent collapse at a downtown sports bar.
Alfred Goodman, 58, a retired ironworker from Waterloo, suffered fatal head and neck injuries when wind gusts of up to 50 mph toppled the enclosure beside Kilroy’s Sports Bar at 720 South Seventh Street during a storm on April 28, 2012.
Nearly 100 others were injured, including the seven people who joined Goodman’s family in consolidated suits alleging negligence on the part of the bar owners.
