ST. LOUIS – A passenger alleges she was injured after an allegedly distracted driver struck the vehicle she was occupying in St. Louis.
Mary Buggs filed a complaint on March 19 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Daniel Owens alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on May 30, 2016, she was a passenger in a motor vehicle when defendant caused his vehicle to crash into the rear of the vehicle she was occupying. She alleges she sustained injuries resulting in disability, disfigurement, great pain, mental anguish, lost wages and medical expenses.
The plaintiff holds Owens responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to maintain a careful lookout, drove while distracted and failed to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages of more than $25,000, plus costs of this action and all further relief as the court may deem appropriate. She is represented by Gregory M. Tobin of Pratt & Tobin PC in East Alton.
