Lawsuit of the week: Why Red Sox fans should avoid Yonkers, NY

Carlos Ortez-Somarriba vs. Duane Somers, Motel in the Sky, Inc, Totonno's of Yonkers, LLC, Jane Doe, John Doe and Patrick Grizzle

On Oct. 4, 2007, Carlos Ortez, a millworker from Quincy, was in Yonkers, NY on a work project. That night, he and a co-worker went down to a bar in the Ramada where they were staying to watch the Sox play the Angels in the playoffs. A pair of locals in the bar began to harass them, at one point impugning Ortez's Boston loyalties. Ortez says he complained to the barkeepers, who did nothing. When the two workers left, the locals jumped them and, Ortez charges, beat him so severely he still suffers permanent pain and faces additional facial reconstructive surgery.

One of the locals was found guilty of attacking Ortez. The suit seeks damages against the hotel, the bar and the bartenders for failing to prevent or stop the attack.

Ortez's complaint.
