"Defendants acted with flagrant and malicious disregard of Plaintiff's and others' health and safety," the suit asserts," the lawsuit states, "It demands monetary damages of more than $1 million in addition to a jury trial."
Brown is seeking more than $1 million in financial compensation for her injuries, as well as emotional distress, disfigurement, and other health issues.
