Overview
- Cosmo Silverman, 15, died on June 4, 2025 after being pinned between two SUVs in Campbell Hall’s Triangle Parking Lot during dismissal, according to police and medical officials.
- Filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in late December, the wrongful death suit accuses the school of negligence and cites alleged violations of state regulations and P.A.S.S. guidelines.
- The complaint says prior parent warnings about a dangerous layout went unheeded and contends the traffic-directing employee was not present on the day of the crash.
- Attorneys note the school later installed fences, pylons, a pedestrian pathway, and a stop sign in the lot, changes they argue should have been in place earlier.
- The family’s lawyers say they resolved a claim with the Rivian driver but were unable to reach agreement with the school’s insurer; the suit seeks damages to be determined at trial.
