Attorneys say the family of an Illinois man whose death prompted murder charges against two paramedics who strapped him facedown on a stretcher has filed a lawsuit against them and their employer.

has filed a lawsuit against them and their employer, attorneys said Thursday.

Prosecutors have separately charged Cadigan and Finley with first-degree murder, accusing them of tightly strapping Moore on a stretcher after Springfield police, who initially responded to a 911 call at Moore's home, requested an ambulance. Under Illinois law, a first-degree murder charge can be filed when a defendant “knows that such acts create a strong probability of death or great bodily harm.”“They tied him down like some kind of animal and killed him,” she said.

A woman who answered the phone at LifeStar Ambulance Service's office and did not provide her name declined to comment. After Sangamon County prosecutors filed the charges this month, Springfield police released the videos which show a woman inside Moore's home telling police that he is in withdrawal from alcohol and hallucinating. Police then call for an ambulance.
