The parents of Dustin Chan were devastated after their son collapsed and later died at Dulles Middle School on January 13, 2014. Nothing can replace their beloved son, but the attorneys at Terry & Thweatt, P.C. assisted the parents in a lawsuit against Kickstart to bring justice for their son’s death.
Dustin Chan was participating in a Kickstart karate class at Dulles Middle School when he collapsed. However, the instructor did not send a student for a school nurse for nine minutes.
