Campbell Hall, the elite K-12 private school in Studio City, is being sued by two renowned artists after their 15-year-old son was fatally pinned between two vehicles in the school’s parking lot earlier this year.Cosmo Silverman was killed June 4 after the ninth-grade student was struck by a green Rivian SUV and pinned against a white SUV as he was crossing the parking lot minutes after the end of school.The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges the school failed to make safety improvements to the parking lot despite previous complaints from parents about how student dismissal was handled.“The school was put on notice by its community, by parents of the school that the parking lot was unsafe,” said Robert Glassman, an attorney representing Cosmo’s parents.“They knew there was a problem.”Cosmo, according to the suit, was 15 at the time and had just completed the ninth grade when he was killed.
He was the son of married artists Adam Silverman and Louise Bonnet, who are the plaintiffs in the suit.“During his tragically short life, he left an indelible mark on his family, his friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know him,” the suit reads.“For Adam and Louise, the death of their son was not just the loss of a life, it was the loss of every heartbeat that filled their home with joy, every dream they had watched take shape, and every fortunate moment they had counted on sharing.”Officials with Campbell Hall did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
