Overview
- Cosmo Silverman’s parents filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on Dec. 30 seeking damages to be determined at trial for alleged systemic safety failures at the Studio City school.
- The complaint cites California Code of Regulations Title 5 §14030(b) and P.A.S.S. guidelines, asserting the campus traffic patterns improperly intersected with pedestrian routes.
- LAPD investigators reported the 15-year-old was pinned between a green Rivian R1S and a Volvo on June 4, 2025, after the Rivian appeared to accelerate as he walked between the SUVs.
- Plaintiffs say Campbell Hall added a fence, pylons, a marked pedestrian path, a stop sign, and a second barrier only after the fatal incident.
- The filing alleges the usual traffic monitor was absent that day; the family’s attorney says they resolved their claim with the Rivian driver, and the school declined comment.
