The Interpreter Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 ...Kennywood Park and Landau Building Co. settled last week with the family of Stephanie Wilkerson. The 29-year-old Wilkerson was killed May 31, 2002 when 100 mph winds whipped through the region, ripping the roof off the pavilion. Wilkerson's parents sued Kennywood and Landau. In July 2007, a jury awarded the family $1.2 million in compensation. A trial on liability and punitive damages was to begin Monday, but the sides reached a total settlement of $2 million last week. Kennywood will also have eight structures built by Landau inspected before the 2010 season begins. http://www.timeslead...ticleID=3699777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalefan Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 100 mph winds would tear the roof off of just about anything. We had 85 mph winds here a few years ago, and it blew over a semi trailer full of paper. It shouldnt of took 3 years to fully settle the case after the jury awarded though.
