Who knew Bill Belichick would have so much drama after leaving the NFL...

A Massachusetts painter has sued football coach Bill Belichick for $300,000 after he allegedly got hurt on his $5million Nantucket property.

Andrew Jackson said he and fell during a painting job on Belichick's Fair Street home in June 2024 due to unsafe working conditions according to the lawsuit, which was first reported by the Nantucket Current and viewed by the Daily Mail.

Jackson claimed the home had improperly maintained plastic sheeting or coverings that are used to protect the floor and furniture, creating a 'dangerous and unsafe' environment for him to work in.

While working, Jackson fell, severely injuring his right ankle, the suit alleges. He also suffered from pain, disability, lost wages, and medical expenses, the lawsuit added.

Although Jackson received worker's compensation through his employer, the painter is suing the football coach for nearly $300,000 for negligence.

'Defendant owed Plaintiff a duty to use reasonable care to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition, to inspect for hazards, to warn of dangers of which it knew or should have known, and to coordinate the site in a reasonably safe manner for lawful workers present there,' the lawsuit read.

The painter racked up nearly $61,000 in hospital expenses, as well as $4,600 in doctor's visits and $2,000 on physical therapy, the civil action cover sheet said.

Jackson also claimed to have lost $167,828.25 in wages and will lose an anticipated $50,000, the court record showed.

Amazing. Nobody is responsible for anything anymore and its always someone else's fault. Everybody has a hand out to get a free ride. The best way to get rid of lawsuits like this is to have a "loser's pay" clause meaning with the injury chasers lose they have to pay the cost of the other side. It would be amazing how quickly the injury chasers would slither away.

So the painter put down a drop cloth and then tripped over it. Classic.

You never put a two-footed/extension ladder on a cloth or any other slippery surface without a stabilizer. Plaintiff is guilty of stupidity

Ain't the painter the "expert" here? If it ain't safe, make it safe or wait until it is. I'm just the stupid home owner.
