Retired Navy Veteran, Ray J. Falk, is suing a truck driver because he claims the tire-blowout on his truck caused him psychological damage. Falk, who suffers from PTSD, claims the blowout was so loud that he sustained “severe trauma to his hearing” as a result.
He is seeking $75,000 from the driver and his company, Western Express, as damages.
According to the lawsuit, Falk was standing on the sidewalk, just feet away from the rig, when the truck driver drove over the curb during a right turn and blew out his tires causing an “extraordinarily loud, concussive explosive sound.”
