Wade v. The Milford Yacht Club, (judicial district of New Haven – filed Oct. 16, 2013) A wedding photographer invited to capture a summer wedding and cannon discharge during the reception was severely injured at the Milford yacht Club when the cannon’s exhaust containing hot particulate struck her burning her face, neck, chest and extremities. She also suffered a corneal abrasion to the eye, loss of hearing, and tinnitus. Just prior to firing the cannon, the venue told the plaintiff she was positioned at a totally safe distance and that the cannon would not emit hot particulate when it was fired.
