Family Dollar Collapse Lawsuits Settled | Kansas City News

Two lawsuits stemming from the deadly partial collapse of a Kansas City Family Dollar store have been quietly settled — one by Tammy Martin, who suffered life-altering injuries, and another by Vicki Banks, whose husband died when the building’s front collapsed. The incident, triggered by a vehicle hitting an unrepaired support column, led plaintiffs to blame negligent maintenance by the store and property owners. While details of the settlements remain private, both cases are now closed after jury trials were canceled. One case, involving rescuer Charles Ochlech, remains active — but for now, justice has been served for Martin and Banks.
