Battle was accused of “carelessly and negligently failing to keep a proper lookout for other vehicles, carelessly and negligently following too closely to the vehicle being operated by the Plaintiff, and carelessly and negligently failing to equip said vehicle with adequate and proper breaks to stop the movement of the vehicle.”

The Plaintiff demanded Battle pay $5,000 in property damage to his vehicle, plus court costs and attorney’s fees.
