Lawyers: Giants Fan’s Medical Costs to Top $50M

September 14, 2011

Lawyers for the San Francisco Giants fan brutally beaten outside Dodger Stadium say his medical care is expected to cost more than $50 million.

City News Service reports the figure was part of a damage estimate included in papers filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The filings come in a lawsuit Bryan Stow and his children have brought against Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and 13 others in the franchise.

Stow suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was attacked March 31 following the Dodgers’ home opener against the Giants. He underwent a life-saving procedure and was put in a coma for several weeks.

Stow is now being treated in San Francisco. His doctor said last month he was awake and breathing on his own.
