According to the Southeast Texas Record, a truck driver from Florida has filed a lawsuit against a trucking company and its driver following a truck stop crash.
The incident occurred on April 15, 2013, at the Texas Best truck stop in Tyler, Texas.
On October 30, truck driver, Vladimir Kostov, filed a lawsuit against Beckat Oil & Fuel and Daniel Fredrick, claiming negligence.
Kostov claims that on April 15, 2013, he had opened his hood and climbed into his engine compartment to wash his windshield. Â At the same time, Fredrick , whose truck was parked in front of Kostov’s, backed his truck into Kostov’s truck. Â The impact crushed the hood, causing Kostov to hit his head and burn his leg on the engine.
Kostov is seeking $75,000 Â in “economic, non-economic and compensatory damages, including interest and costs of court,” the Southeast Texas Record reports.
