An attorney is seeking $10 million on behalf of the family of a 3-year-old Detroit-area girl who was killed at a Head Start program when she was struck by a table that folded into a gymnasium wall.
A wrongful death lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Wayne County against the Archdiocese of Detroit, Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency and St. Albert the Great Church in Dearborn Heights.
The lawsuit says children were at recess Jan. 20 at the church when the table "unexpectedly and without notice detached from the wall and fell directly" onto Lilliana Kerr.
The Associated Press left phone messages Wednesday with the Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency. The agency operated the Head Start program.
A spokesman for the Detroit Archdiocese says it does not comment on pending litigation.
