Parents of Girl Killed in Christmas Parade File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The parents of Hailey Brooks, the 11-year-old dancer killed in November’s Raleigh Christmas Parade, have filed a civil lawsuit against the float driver who struck her, as well as others involved in the deadly incident, CBS 17 learned Tuesday.

In the 56-page lawsuit, Hailey’s parents, Trey and April Brooks, said their daughter’s death “would have been prevented if basic, reasonable, and well-known safety protocols had been adopted and enforced.”

It also said, “This action is brought to ensure that those responsible for Hailey’s death are held accountable and to ensure that no other child or person is hurt or killed by the recklessness of those entrusted with and responsible for the safety of the children and attendees at this Raleigh tradition.”
