Did you know that the aftermath of a car crash can sometimes cost more than a small fortune? Well, in the case of Rashee Rice, it’s not just any crash – we’re talking about a jaw-dropping lawsuit amounting to over $10 million following a car accident in Dallas last month. This mind-boggling figure has left many scratching their heads and wondering what exactly went down on those fateful streets.
When it comes to legal battles and eye-watering compensation claims, this case takes the cake. Strap in as the details of this astonishing lawsuit get uncovered.
The aftermath of the car crash extends beyond physical injuries; victims often endure emotional trauma and financial burdens. The legal proceedings aim to provide compensation and closure for those affected.
Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova filed the lawsuit in Dallas County last week — less than a month after they say Rice’s reckless actions caused them injuries in a massive pileup on a Texas highway.
Petrovskiy and Gromova say on March 30, Rice was in a Lamborghini Urus, racing his friend Theodore Knox — who was in a Corvette — when the two lost control and barreled into other innocent drivers on the roadway.
The plaintiffs claim both Rice and Knox left the scene without making any effort to check on those impacted by the crash — a problem, because they say some of the victims were “severely injured, bleeding, and visibly distressed.”
The two are now suing Rice and Knox, an SMU football player, for no less than $10 million in punitive damages … after they claim they suffered, among other things, brain trauma, lacerations that required stitches and internal bleeding.
They’re also seeking compensatory damages for the medical bills, mental anguish, property damage and more in the suit.
From jaw-dropping injury claims to eye-watering settlement figures, it’s been quite the rollercoaster ride. But hey, before you speed off, remember that safety belt! Whether you’re hitting the road or the courtroom, caution is key – no need to crash-land in legal hot water!
Rice’s signed a rookie deal worth $6.5 million and won’t be eligible for free agency until 2026.
