An Orange County jury last month awarded the parents of a young Missouri teen $310 million in damages after the teen fell several hundred feet to his death from the Free Fall ride at an Orlando amusement park.

The Ninth Judicial Circuit jury handed down the verdict on Dec. 5 in the wrongful death case of 14-year-old Tyre Sampson, who fell from the ride at Icon Park in March 2022. Jurors awarded each of the teen’s parents, Nekia Dodd and Yarnell Sampson, $30 million for past pain and suffering plus medical or funeral expenses and $125 million for future pain and suffering related to Tyre’s death, according to the text of the jury verdict.

The family was represented by civil rights and personal-injury attorney Ben Crump and attorney Natalie Jackson.
