Joe Messa, Client Speak about Carnez Boone Drowning Case

Philadelphia (February 11, 2011) — The Philadelphia Daily News spoke to Okita Allen, the mother of Carnez Boone, as well as Philadelphia personal injury attorney Joseph L. Messa about the pending lawsuit filed after the 14-year-old teen drowned in a lake at Lakeside Park in Stoneboro last summer.

Ms. Allen talked about how she has coped since the passing of her son and her lingering thoughts of why he was even on the diving board in the first place. She says she feels “there was no remorse, no compassion.”

In the article, Mr. Messa discussed how the school, lifeguards and Lakeside Park Company, the company that owns the lake, were negligent in protecting Boone.

“The child’s safety is the most important thing,” he told the newspaper.
