Parents File Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Son?s Auto Accident

The parents of a 21-year-old man, who was killed two years ago when his Jeep fell off a 90-foot cliff at a Rockaway Township quarry, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the operator of the quarry and a restaurant where the man drank before the fatal accident occurred. According to an article in the Daily Record, Thomas and Barbara Schultz filed the lawsuit on behalf of their deceased son Matthew Quinn Schultz.

The couple alleges that the company Tilcon knew the Mt. Hope quarry site was dangerous and an ?attractive nuisance? to trespassers and fun-seekers, but failed to install gates and secure the facility. The couple also named Charlie Brown?s Steakhouse as a defendant alleging that their son, who worked at the restaurant, became heavily intoxicated there after finishing his shift on the night of the accident. The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of the defendants and seeks damages for loss of enjoyment of life and the pain and distress Schultz suffered before his death.
