Clifford Law Offices of Chicago Represents Seven Circus Performers Injured in “Human Chandelier” Act

Nationally renowned personal injury firm Clifford Law Offices has been retained by seven of the eight female circus performers who were injured – some severely – in Rhode Island on May 4 when a “human chandelier” act collapsed during a circus act in front of thousands of attendees, including many small children.

Some of the young performers, who have grown up with the circus all their lives, are still undergoing treatment and are in physical therapy and will require future surgeries; several of them still ambulate in wheelchairs and it remains unknown to what extent they will regain the full use of their limbs.  Several of the injured young women will be attending Tuesday’s press conference to address the media; the others will be undergoing additional surgery in another state or continuing in their treatment in other facilities.

Robert A. Clifford, senior partner of Clifford Law Offices, said that his firm is not yet filing a lawsuit but is conducting an in-depth investigation into all the possible entities who may be responsible for what happened to these beautiful young women who were in perfect health and had promising careers.

The Press Conference will be held at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, 300 First Ave., Charlestown, Massachusetts, in the large conference room on 1st Floor at 4 p.m. EST Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Several of the young women will be present to make a statement and answer questions on their conditions. Clifford Law Offices Partner Michael S. Krzak and Managing Partner Thomas K. Prindable also will be on hand to answer questions of the press. The Press Conference will be streamed Live through Clifford Law Offices website: www.cliffordlaw.com.
