Stringer's widowwants suit reinstated
MINNEAPOLIS -- Korey Stringer's widow will ask an appeals court to reinstate her $100 million lawsuit against the Minnesota Vikings now that she has settled with the last defendants.
Kelci Stringer reached a deal with the Vikings' training camp physician, Dr. David Knowles, and his Mankato Clinic for an undisclosed sum, Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson said.
Last month, Larson dismissed all of Kelci Stringer's claims against the Vikings and team officials over her husband's heatstroke death in 2001. But the judge allowed her $100 million wrongful-death lawsuit to go forward against Knowles, who was not an employee of the team.
