A man paralyzed from the waist down in a snow-tubing accident in Virginia is suing the parent companies of Massanutten Resort for more than $25 million.
John Carwile was injured after his head hit the wall at the end of a tubing run in January 2009 at the ski resort. His lawyer, Patrick Regan, filed the lawsuit in March seeking $25 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages – the maximum allowed by Virginia law. It alleges that Massanutten was negligent in setting up and operating the snow-tube runs.
