The family of an Elk Grove Village woman killed in a 2022 crash while she and two children were parasailing in the Florida Keys filed a second lawsuit connected to her death this week and reflected on the tragic end to a family vacation about a year ago.
Supraja Alaparthi, 33, was killed after being dragged across the water and slamming into a bridge last June while strapped into a parasail.
"I can't help but think that if the people we trusted ... had done their jobs, my wife would still be with us today," he said."We trusted these companies, but they let us down in the worst possible way." Her husband, daughter and other horrified family members watched from the boat as they were dragged across the water and struck a bridge, attorneys said Thursday at a news conference in Chicago. It came days after filing a wrongful-death lawsuit against the captain, a crew member and a Florida resort company that owns the marina where the boat was based.
Online court records did not list attorneys representing the captain, crew members and resort company named in the suit.
