Tyreek Hill’s attorney has offered a response to a lawsuit filed against the Miami Dolphins star.
The wide receiver is the subject of a claim made by OF model Sophie Hall, who is seeking damages between $50,000 and $75,000 for medical expenses caused by Hill allegedly breaking her leg.
Hall asserts that the Fins wideout ran into her with great force, resulting in a broken leg, after she embarrassed him by holding her own and knocking him back during a backyard football game at his house in Florida.
Hill stands accused of battery, assault, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The player has since responded via a statement from his lawyer, Julius B. Collins, claiming the suit is bogus and that Hall got hurt when she tripped over a dog.
Per ESPN:
“However, in the statement released to ESPN on Thursday, Hill’s attorney, Julius B. Collins, disputed Hall’s allegations and said they believe the lawsuit was filed to “generate bad publicity for Mr. Hill in an attempt to ‘scare tactic’ him into personally covering the cost of Ms. Hall’s medical bills.”
“Hill claimed Hall actually hurt her leg tripping over a dog while performing the drills, and Collins accused Hall’s counsel of intentionally omitting that from her original complaint. (Hall’s lawsuit does mention a puppy disrupting a drill, but does not say the dog caused her to fall.)
“Hill also insisted the drills were playful and advised that there is a pending claim with his homeowners’ insurance company, with the intention of “fully covering” Hall’s medical bills.”
Dolphins GM Chris Grier has said that the team is aware of the incident, as well as the lawsuit that has followed.
“Yeah, we were made aware of it,” he said. “We were in communication with NFL security, so I really can’t comment on anything of that until we get all our information and find out what happened. For us, Tyreek has been a good addition for us, but in terms of all the off-field stuff, we’ll have to get all the information before we can really comment on it.”
