St. Louis collision prompts driver to claim negligence

Car accident 24

ST. LOUIS — A motorist is alleging another driver's negligence led to a collision that caused injuries and loss of wages.

Linda Tucker filed a complaint on Oct. 10 in the St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court against Alexander Shehadeh, alleging that Shahadah breached his duty to exercise the highest degree care while driving his motor vehicle.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on April 13, 2017, she was traveling southbound on Vanderventer Avenue near its intersection with Lindell Avenue when the defendant's vehicle suddenly entered her lane and caused a collision. She sustained injuries resulting in physical and mental pain, medical expenses, lost wages and diminished mobility, according to the complaint. The plaintiff holds Shehadeh responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to maintain careful lookout, failed to yield the right-of-way and failed to slow down, stop or swerve to avoid collision.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages of more than $25,000, litigation costs and all other relief as the court may deem proper. She is represented by Kyle Kleefuss of the Law Offices of Derald L. Gab PC in St. Louis.
