Michaels was hit on the head when some staging came down at the end of a performance by Poison; the singer now believes the injury led to his 2010 brain hemorrhage.
Michaels’ lawsuit has four parts to it: negligence, negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, civil batter and negligent misrepresentation.
In very basic terms, Michaels is seeking damages for – what he believes – was a lack of information and specific direction from producers, which led directly to the accident; financial relief for missed public engagements following the event due his injuries; and, that organizers misled Michaels into ‘harm’s way’ by failing to provide proper directions regarding his exit from the stage.
Michaels is suing for unspecified damages.
