Estate of Cory Lidle sued for building damages

On October 11, 2006, New York Yankee’s pitcher Cory Lidle crashed his airplane into the 50-story Belaire Apartments in Manhattan.  Cory died as did his co-pilot.

Janice Carrington, the owner of one of the apartments, has filed suit against Cory’s estate for the approximately $254,000 in property damages which she suffered.  She alleges that she first made timely claims against Cory’s estate and that those claims were formally rejected.
