The injuries suffered by Mrs. Allen were serious. The day after injuries, she developed a blood clot and had a severe stroke. After her condition deteriorated, Mrs. Allen was placed into a nursing home on April 11, 2017. On June 23, Mrs. Allen was placed on life support. She passed away on June 25, 2017.

Her husband, Floyd Allen, brought the lawsuit against NBC and The City of Pasadena. He alleges that if it weren’t for Mrs. Allen becoming injured because of both NBC and The City of Pasadena, she wouldn’t have died. Mr. Allen’s lawsuit requests monetary compensation for the negligent infliction of emotional distress because of the loss of his wife and the pain that she suffered as a result of injuries to her head, arms, and a fractured hip.

The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California and is a wrongful death action. Other defendants include Marathon Productions, Inc. (DBA America’s Got Talent) and Fremantle Productions North America, Inc.
