Aaron Hernandez hit with wrongful death lawsuit
FALL RIVER, Mass. - Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been sued by the family of a Boston man he’s accused of killing.
The Fall-River Herald-News reports the wrongful death lawsuit was filed this week in county court in New Bedford.
The court filing says unspecified damages probably exceed the value of Hernandez’s $1.25 million home, and seeks a real estate attachment up to $5 million.
The family also seeks a court order to keep the Patriots from paying Hernandez more than $3 million it believes he’s owed from his contract.
The Lloyd family’s attorney declined to comment. A message was left with a law firm that has represented Hernandez.
