ST. LOUIS — A woman whose car was rear-ended on Lafayette Avenue is suing the other driver, alleging negligence.
Jennifer Ritch filed a complaint on Nov. 13 in the St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court against Samuel Delmar, alleging that he failed to maintain his motor vehicle under proper control.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff was driving westbound on Lafayette Avenue near its intersection with South Tucker on Oct. 3 when the defendant's vehicle struck the rear of her car. She allegedly sustained serious injuries to her right wrist, neck and back.
The plaintiff holds Delmar responsible because he allegedly failed to keep careful lookout, failed to yield the right of way, and failed to reduce speed, stop or swerve to avoid collision.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury; and seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $25,000, costs of this action, and all other relief as the court may deem just and proper. She is represented by Kyle Kleefus of the Law Offices of Derald L. Gab in St. Louis.
