House painter sues Bill Belichick over fall
The man hired to paint for Bill Belichick is now suing after suffering a fall at the coach’s Nantucket Island home.
Andrew Jackson claims he fell and got injured while working at Belichick’s property in June 2024, according to the complaint filed last week against Belichick’s production company, Forty Five Fair Street LLC.
Jackson asserts he was working on Belichick’s property, located at 45 Fair Street, when he slipped and fell. The lawsuit claims the site had unsafe conditions due to “the placement, use, and/or maintenance of plastic sheeting or coverings and other unsafe conditions in the work area.”
Jackson says he suffered injuries that included a “severe right ankle injury, together with pain, disability, medical expenses, lost wages, and other consequential damages.” The total compensation sought in damages exceeds $285,000.
Jackson’s lawyer told the Nantucket Current that he received workers’ comp through his employer/subcontractor’s insurer, but retained his rights to sue Belichick as an individual for negligence.
The property at 45 Fair Street is a four bedroom, four-and-a-half bath, 2,854-square foot house, according to this write-up on Boston.com.
