Still reeling from the loss of their son, the Vandams are seeking at least $75,000 for medical and funeral expenses as well as emotional trauma.
I just posted this article in the lawsuit section. Didn't see this until after I had posted.
The family is also suing the Dive Instructor that loaned him the mask he used as well as the Instructor that dove in and rescued him. They were both finishing up with their classes when this all happened. I spoke with someone who was there. There were 3 medical doctors at the crater at this time as well in classes. There apparently was a lot of help.
I will be getting the full skinny from the individual that loaned him the mask tonight.
