Former Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner and his family filed a lawsuit in federal court Friday against the Costa Rican hotel — “and the Pennsylvania executives who own and oversee the resort” — where their 14-year-old son, Miller, died last year following carbon monoxide inhalation, according to the law firm used by the family. The lawsuit, which was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania nearly one year to the day of Miller’s March 21, 2025 death, alleges that the defendants “failed to comply with basic safety standards,” ESPN reported. Gardner, who spent his entire 14-year career with the Yankees, and his family are seeking damages “for gross negligence, wrongful death, emotional distress, vicarious liability, breach of warranty, loss of filial consortium and other causes of action,” according to the Motley Rice law firm.
