KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The process of seeking justice for victims of the Branson, Missouri duck boat disaster, the worst in American history, began today with the filing of the first lawsuits in U.S. District Court here on behalf of the late Ervin ‘Uncle Ray’ Coleman, 76, and his great-nephew, two-year-old Maxwell Coleman Ly.
