Alldredge's suit states he was provided stitches to the wound at Dodger Stadium and that he received additional treatment later at an Orange County hospital.Alldredge continues to suffer from cognitive and memory issues, frequent headaches and dizziness, according to his complaint.The suit alleges the Dodgers should have taken steps to install netting, barriers or screens to prevent items from falling from upper decks and injuring patrons below.
The complaint further contends that stadium personnel should have monitored the area from which the phone fell in order to make sure fans were not placing personal items on the railing.Copyright 2026, City News Service, Inc.
