Civil lawsuit filed against Saints' Alvin Kamara over alleged Feb. incident
The alleged victim in a felony battery case against New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara and three other men, including Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Christopher Lammons, filed a civil lawsuit in Louisiana against Kamara on Friday.
The lawsuit filed in Orleans Parish by Darnell Greene Jr. alleges that Kamara and other men involved beat Greene and stomped on him when he was on the floor unconscious outside of a Las Vegas nightclub on the morning of Feb. 5, prior to the Pro Bowl earlier this year. It alleges that Kamara shoved Greene into a wall, repeatedly punched Greene in the face, including after he had fallen to the ground, and bragged about the assault to one of his friends as they were leaving the club.
Greene's lawsuit asks for a jury trial and compensatory and punitive damages of no less than $10 million. Specifically, the lawsuit asks for $5 million in actual damages for «pecuniary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, „present, and future medical expenses“ and $5 million in exemplary damages.
The lawsuit states that Greene sustained severe injuries to his neck, back, head, shoulder, knees, and face. It also says that medical testing „confirmed a disfiguring facial fracture to Greene's right orbital bone, blunt force trauma to his head, multiple disc protrusions, and structural tears in his shoulder.“
The lawsuit, which includes alleged photos from the nightclub's security cameras, says that Greene had to go to the hospital because of his injuries and will need multiple surgeries as a result.
Kamara is facing a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit battery and a felony charge of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm. His court case has already been pushed back
