A couple who said they were trampled along with their daughter after fireworks went off in a store at Hamilton Place Mall have filed suit against the mall owner, CBL & Associates.
The complaint was filed by Teriance and Carol Copeland and their daughter, Tecara.
They are asking $150,000 each.
The Circuit Court complaint filed by attorney C. Mark Warren and John Mark Griffin says it happened on Dec. 26 - the busiest shopping day of the year.
It says shoppers began panicking after the firecrackers were thrown in the Pink Store as a diversion to a shoplifting escapade.
The suit also names EMRC Property Management Company as a defendant.
It says the mall should have had procedures in place to prevent a stampede from taking place.
