The Casselberry police officer who was suing the family of a young boy who nearly drowned in a backyard pool has now dropped the legal action. The case gained nationwide attention after Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn sued because she slipped on a puddle of water at the house while responding. She claimed the family was negligent. However, the lawsuit was dropped on Thursday. Some legal experts said it never would have stood up in court. "The answer is really simple,” said attorney Dan Newlin. “The family is dealing with a horrific situation where a child who has brain injury as a result of an accident. To bring more stress on family is something we don't do. We help families." Eichhorn was also placed on leave by the Casselberry Police Department. The city's chief was against the lawsuit all along. |
