Almost 2 years since the 2009 Tony Awards where Bret Michaels was almost killed after a piece of scenery fell down on him after his performance, the lawsuit to CBS moves from LA to NY. Even though Michaels petitioned the judge to have the hearing in Los Angeles, she refused the petition, moving the case to be heard in NYC.
Bret's lawyers claim that he is still having post trauma effects from the accident, including bleeding which required hospitalization last year. The New York Times reported that Judge Dolly M . Gee of the Los Angeles District Court issued a ruling last week that the case should be heard in New York, where the accident occurred.
Alex Weingarten, Michaels' lawyer states that they tried to resolve the issue with CBS and the organizers of the Tony Awards with out filing a lawsuit but they were unsuccessful. According to Weingarten's statement "They must be held accountable for almost killing Bret, and that is what we are going to do."
