Today the attorneys of  DLG  filed a negligence suit in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Salem Baptist Church, Rev. James T. Meeks and Ann White. Belinda Richardson is suing on behalf of her 10 year old son who was severely injured when he slipped and fell backwards down the stairs and over the banister at Salem Baptist Church while trying to carry chairs larger than himself. The boy was attending Sunday school when he and another little boy were instructed by their teacher, White, to take chairs to and from her classroom, up and down the stairs. The boy was carrying two metal folding chairs when he lost his balance and fell. As a result the child suffered a left femur fracture, bruised and lacerated liver, skull fracture, hip fracture, ruptured eardrum and bruised lung.
