North Carolina Tar Heels football coach Bill Belichick was sued on Thursday over an alleged incident that occurred at his Massachusetts home in June 2024.

Painter Andrew Jackson sued Forty Five Fair Street LLC, a company managed by Belichick, in Nantucket Superior Court. Jackson said in his lawsuit that "construction practices created an unsafe work area for workers at the premises" and, because of that, he suffered injuries after a fall.

"As a direct and proximate result of the fall, plaintiff sustained serious bodily injuries including a severe right ankle injury, together with pain, disability, medical expenses, lost wages, and other consequential damages," the lawsuit stated.

The filing added that Jackson received workers’ compensation benefits after the fall but "retains his rights to pursue this third-party negligence action against non-employer responsible parties."

The lawsuit said that Belichick’s company should have made sure the construction site was in a safe-working condition.
