Woman sues Dallas apartments, crane company after she 'skimmed death' in fatal collapse

A woman who is suing after her Dallas apartment complex was ripped apart Sunday by a falling crane says she's still in shock after losing everything in the collapse.

Macy Chiasson, a 27-year-old UFC fighter, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Dallas County, claiming negligence led to the accident that killed 29-year-old Kiersten Symone Smith and and injured Chiasson and several others.

She and more than 500 other residents of the Elan City Lights apartments have been told they won't be allowed to return to their homes.

The lawsuit seeks more than $1 million in damages from the owners of Bigge Crane and Rigging, Elan City Lights and The Gabriella — the unfinished complex where the crane stood.
