Driver, passenger sue motorist for alleged negligence

Car accident 45

EDWARDSVILLE — A driver and passenger allege injuries resulting from a car crash.

Patricia and Nathan Wilson filed a complaint on Jan. 27 in the Madison County Circuit Court against Jessie L. Jones, alleging he failed to operate his vehicle in a way that would avoid damage and injury to other motorists.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that on Feb. 1, 2015, they were stopped at a red light when the defendant negligently collided with their vehicle at a speed of approximately 25-30 miles per hour, causing both plaintiffs to sustain injuries.

As a result, the Wilsons claim they suffered great pain and mental anguish, loss of earnings and medical expenses.

The plaintiffs allege the defendant failed to keep careful lookout, drove the vehicle in a careless/reckless manner and failed to stop, swerve, slacken speed, sound a warning, or any combination thereof to avoid the accident.

The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek for an amount exceeding $50,000 and for any other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

They are represented by Thomas R. Applewhite of Donner Applewhite, Attorneys at Law in St. Louis.

Madison County Circuit Court case number 2017L-000131
