Kennedy Heir involved in Assault Suit over Baby
In Illinois, if you have been involved hurt by a criminal assault, you still have rights in civil court! But does the assailant have the cash to cover you? Depends. Read on.
The “K” parade kontinues in the Hoag Law Group, LLC.’s blogs this week as yet another Kennedy grabs headlines, but not in a good way. According to USA Today, two nurses filed a civil suit against Douglas Kennedy, son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. earlier this week. Apparently, the nurses attempted to stop Douglas from taking his newborn son out of the hospital for “fresh air.” Allegedly, Douglas ignored their admonitions, twisted the arm of one nurse who attempted to stop him, and kicked the second nurse causing her to fall to the floor.
The suit alleges that the nurses sustained “physical and emotional distress” as a result of the incident. They are seeking $200,000 in damages. The nurses are pursuing the civil suit even though Douglas was acquitted of the criminal charges. The nurses’ injury attorney is accused of abusing the system by Kennedy’s attorney. However, a larger issue is that wealthy, high-profile individuals can ostensibly afford to pay for their alleged bad behaviour!
