In the petition, Andrew Girouard claims he was driving southbound on Joplin Avenue and had a green light at 20th and Joplin when JPD officer Jarod Tingley ran a red light and crashed into his vehicle.
Girouard suffered injuries to his head, neck, back, shoulder, right foot and shin and has feelings of helplessness, anxiety and depression, according to the petition.
Because of the injuries, Girouard says he has medical bills and is enduring pain and suffering.
Girouard claims the city and Tingley were guilty of negligence. Girouard and his wife Amber are also suing for loss of consortium.
The petition asks for damages exceeding $75,000 and requests a jury trial.
My daughter and I witnessed this accident. We gave the police our information. My daughter asked the cop why he ran the red light and he wasn't very happy about being questioned.
ReplyDeleteIf you are witnesses you should refrain from making public statements about this until after the case is settled. You could jeopardize them winning their case. Attorneys have a way of twisting words.
DeleteThey were obviously a witness who watched the cop run the red light knowing the cop was at fault I dont think there is any way the story is getting turned around there
