Painter sues Bill Belichick for injuries suffered while working at his home

A painter has filed suit against Bill Belichick after injuring his ankle in July 2024 while working at the North Carolina head football coach’s Nantucket property. Andrew Jackson contends Belichick’s $5 million home was improperly protected by plastic sheeting, creating a dangerous environment. Jackson slipped on the sheeting, sustaining a severe ankle injury that required $61 000 in hospital care, $4 600 in doctors’ visits, and $2 000 in physical therapy. He claims $167 828.25 in lost wages and projects another $50 000 in future lost earnings. The suit seeks nearly $300 000 in damages and could exceed that figure if general damages for pain are awarded. Belichick is expected to cooperate with the litigation unless a settlement is reached.
