North Carolina Tar Heels head football coach Bill Belichick was sued Thursday over an alleged incident at his Massachusetts home in June 2024.
In a complaint filed in Nantucket Superior Court, painter Andrew Jackson named Forty Five Fair Street LLC — a company managed by Belichick — alleging that unsafe construction practices created hazardous working conditions that led to his fall and resulting injuries.
What they're saying:
"As a direct and proximate result of the fall, plaintiff sustained serious bodily injuries including a severe right ankle injury, together with pain, disability, medical expenses, lost wages, and other consequential damages," the lawsuit stated.
Dig deeper:
The filing states that Jackson received workers’ compensation benefits after the fall but "retains his rights to pursue this third-party negligence action against non-employer responsible parties."
It also alleges that Belichick’s company was responsible for ensuring the construction site was maintained in a safe working condition.
"Defendant breached its duties by, among other things: a. causing, permitting, or allowing unsafe conditions to exist at the premises; b. failing to maintain the work area in a reasonably safe condition; c. failing to inspect the premises adequately; d. failing to remedy hazardous conditions it knew or should have known about; e. failing to warn Plaintiff of dangerous conditions; and f. otherwise acting negligently in the ownership, operation, management, supervision, maintenance, and control of the premises."
According to the Nantucket Current, which first reported the lawsuit, Jackson is seeking nearly $300,000 in damages.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Belichick’s representatives for comment.
Belichick purchased the Nantucket property for $4.8 million in 2024, according to Boston.com.
