An Orlando, Fla.-based law firm has been hired to represent three of those injured in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway.
Attorney Matt Morgan of Morgan & Morgan announced the hiring on Twitter Monday night. Morgan told ESPN.com on Tuesday that no lawsuits have been filed, but he is gathering information for the individuals to “pursue their claim for damages against the entities responsible for the injuries.”
The entities could include Daytona International Speedway, the company that designed the catch fence, NASCAR, the car owner and others. “We’re in very preliminary stages to see what was done wrong and what could have been done to prevent this type of injury,” Morgan said.
“I’ve done a preliminary investigation to see what has been done with the fencing in the past and the fencing now. As time goes on, I’ll have a better understanding of liability.” Morgan said he has not contacted DIS at this point, but plans to do so as soon as he gathers more information. (ESPN)
