Brandy And Deceased Woman Get Sued

Filed under: Legal Matters > Brandy

wenn2215879.jpg

We're not sure how we feel about this.

Brandy was involved in a fatal car crash back in 2006, resulting in the death of a woman. The singer was not charged with a crime in the case.

Well, now a man that was injured during the accident is fighting back.

Donald Lite is going after Brandy and the deceased woman, Awatef Aboudihaj, who was married with two kids.

Lite is suing Brandy for allegedly causing the accident and suing Aboudihaj for allegedly contributing to the chain reaction collision that took place.

The 83 year-old claims that their obvious disregard for the rules of the road caused the multi-car pileup that has left him with extreme physical damage and pain.

Well, if Brandy was the one who caused the accident, why not just go after her?

The suit claims that the ladies "failure to keep a safe distance, mixed with their inability to travel at a safe speed, caused Brandy to rear-end Awatef, which sent Awatef's car smashing into his."

Lite goes on to claim that he's suffered some "serious and permanent injuries" that have resulted in several hospital bills.

Lite is suing for an undetermined amount.

This is Brandy's second suit from the crash as Aboudihaj's family is pursuing a $50 million civil action for wrongful death. The civil trial has been set for April 2009.

Does Brandy have any money left????

She hasn't had a hit in years!!!

    perez shut the hell up,it was already proved that brandy was NOT the cause of the incident and that the deceased woman had pot in her system….so you can get off brandys case….and that old dude waited wayyy too damn long to decide to sue anyone…especially a deceased woman!! You are noone to pass judgement on someones situation and while your running your mouth brandy is in the game as we speak,just because she isn't great to you doesnt mean she doesnt have fans…your so fuckin lame for this is swear.I hope the day that some awful shit happens to you that God spares your life and gives you a second chance like he did for brandy…..loser.



  26. 26

    I cant stand fugly ass Brandi with her huge potato forehead, but this shit aint right. This old man needs to kick the bucket at his old age and quit being a money hungry fool =) Brandi your music sucks ass but I hope you win this case it's ridiculous



  27. 27

    if they tailgated at high speed, then he deserves to sue.



  28. 28

    Re: orchidgirl – But you know him, once you go BBD….

    Okay — as an attorney, I can explain what's going on here.

    There's a 2 year statute of limitations in California. What probably happened is this old guy has been working with the insurance companies for both Brandy and the lady who died. If he's still treating for his injuries (and thus, his medical expenses are not definite) then he wouldn't settle until he's finished going to the doctor. But as the statute of limitations approaches, he has to file a lawsuit or the insurance companies won't pay for his medical expenses because he blew the deadline. Filing suit before the statute runs is called "preserving the statute" and it's how you keep your claim open. Trust me, if you don't, the insurance company will NOT pay you even though their insured is at fault.

    As for suing both Brandy and the dead lady, a jury would decide how much fault would be apportioned to each driver. Brandy would probably get the lion's share, like say 95% for causing the accident (it could even be 100%). Depending on how much fault gets assigned, that's how much each insurance company has to pay towards this guy's final bills.

    This is actually totally legit. Don't feel too bad for Brandy. This is what insurance is for, and most likely she has insurance.



  31. 31

    it was a CAR ACCIDENT , THIS OCCUR EVERY DAY! OF COURSE THIS OLD MAN KNOWING THAT BRANDY MAY HAVE MONEY IS SUING, HOW FUCKED UP CAN ONE BE??

    I HOPE HE GOES TO HELL FOR CLAIMING HE HAD IT WORSE THAN THE WOMAN WHO DIED!!!!!UGH SIR YOUR STILL ALIVE AND YOUR GREEDY OUT FOR MONEY!

    I DONT BELIEVE BRANDY WOKE UP THAT MORNING AND THOUGHT TO HERSELF , I THINK I WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND KILL SOMEONE AND HURT OTHERS, IT WAS A CAR ACCIDENT PEOPLE,

    ITS HORRIBLE YES BUT IAM SURE BRANDY FEELS GUILT EVERYDAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND HOPES TO BE FORGIVEN ONE DAY. ITS JUST PATHETIC THIS OLD MEAN AFTER WHAT 2 YEARS IS TRYING TO GET AS MUCH MONEY AS HE CAN I HOPE THE COURT THROWS THIS CASE OUT.

    IM NOT SAYING WHAT HAPPENED WAS RIGHT, BUT WHAT THIS PEOPLE ARE DOING TO BRANDY ISNT RIGHT EITHER, SHE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, BUT NOT ON PURPOSE

    THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS DAILY CAUSE CAR WRECKS , IF THIS WRECK WAS CAUSED BY AN AVERAGE PERSON THIS OLD MAN WOULDNT BE SUING.

    Re: Sweetpiece says Deck the Halls! – I TOO HAVE A HARE AND HE WOULD NEVER SIT STILL FOR A HAT AND A PICTURE!!! I PROMISE TO WEAR MY GLASSES AND NOT TAILGATE ANYMORE….PINKY SWEAR

    Re: tia – cleary perez said WE DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS
    he is refering to the sitution……. how is that passing judgement.

    i dont get why people who hate perez hit up his site daily.

    and he stating the facts when was the last time brandy had a hit?

    i am not a fan of brandy but this whole thing is fucked up, leave the girl alone i am sure she feels guilty everyday of her life.

    brandy's such a wanna be. hell no she doesn't have that kind of money/ 50 mill, what a joke, why do people go after large amounts? and to sue a dead womans' family, that's low class



  37. 37

    Wow, I think it's crazy when stuff is said with no facts. Brandy said a while back that she lives off of the interest of her money. After all she did have a TV show for five years, movies, and has sold over 25 million cd's
    If you look at the police report it tells what really happen and that is why she was not charged. No one talks about how the women who died had drugs in her body.
    Its funny how this man is suing now…could it be that she has a new cd out



  38. 38

    toss the bitch in jail already! she killed someone for driving wrecklessly!

    Re: jimmyjazz – Hi Jimmy!



  40. 40

    That's shitty of him to sue that dead woman's estate…he's taking money from her children. They already have no mother. What an asshole.



  41. 41

    Fuck off Brandy. She is a worthless waste of air and space. To think that I am living on the same planet as this ugly cunt makes me so mad at humanity.



  42. 42

    Perez! Shame on you. Taking an accident and blaming someone for having an accident. First the lady who was killed in the accident had her family sue and Brandy was found to be not at fault. Then you go and condone this old man's ridiculous actions by printing it? On top of that you just resort to childish behavior by saying that she is not "popular" enough to have money. What does that have to do with anything? Brandy is an amazing artist. Great voice. Great lyrics. Very few have the same creative chops. If you are going to print such crap, how about you stop your attack shit and just say how incredibly stupid the man is. He obviously doesn't have any money if he's trying to take some from Brandy. Pain from an accident that happened almost two years ago. I think the old man needs to lay down and stop bitching!



  43. 43

    brandy is hot as fuck. she can kill whoever she wants. pick up her album.



  44. 44

    Re: baba booey – good observation chick w a beard!



  45. 45

    don't be mean to brandy. give her a break



  46. 46

    What a horrible old man.



  47. 47

    poor brandy, sweet as can be. That old fart needs to do something with his old ass. People will do anything for money. I can't believe he is suing the family of the lady who passed, that my friends is americans at their worst



  48. 48

    She has a hit right now, dumbasses….just cuz she is not WHITE, she is way off Perez's radar..but try checking a hit chart now and then. Her new CD came out a week ago and she sings on John Legend's new CD….but he's black too so no one on this site knows who he is



  49. 49

    Re: BrendaWalsh:)

    Thank you!!! And her new CD isn't that bad at all!!



  50. 50

    i feel really bad for her. the accident wasn't all her fault. everyone was responsible in some sort of way and the only reason y they're suing her for so much is cuz they know she's famous and has a lot of money (50 million is pretty unnecessary).

    and y is that guy suing for his injuries or w/e now? didn't this thing happen like 5 years ago?… people are so greedy and heartless.

    i'm keeping Brandy in my prayers.



  51. 51

    I am SURE about how i feel about it… Brandy is a talentless car killer ugly bitch with no merits after that lame show Moesha, the only notorious thing she did after that was the fatal car accident and let's be honest that's not good PR at all… the poor old sucker needs to spend the rest of her days in jail…



  52. 52

    why the fuuck is an 83 yeear old driving in the fiirst plaace lmaao whata douchee!



  53. 53

    Hey, Perez. What the guy is probably seeking is what's called contributory negligence. In many states, even if you partially contributed to an accident you would owe the apportioned amount of the total of damages. Even though deceased, there is likely an insurance policy and/or an estate where these funds can be collected from. Especially since Brandy has previously been "cleared" of negligenge legally, what insurance companies will pay out is decided amongst themselves. Also, she may have previously been persued criminally but is now being persued as a civil matter. Basically, what could wind up happening is if all the parties can sort it out, the injured guy will get his portion from each party separately. In other words, bummer there are deceased parties-but the living one still needs to be made whole and that's not going to happen unless he takes this type of action. It's very common.



  54. 54

    Brandy has a hit right now which is Right Here (Departed). It's was very popular on BET especially on 106 & Park. And her new CD just came out..



  55. 55

    she may have no hits recently , but she's put out music , and has more money than you perez. don't diss ;-)

  56. Robz says – reply to this


    56

    She has no money left? Maybe thats why she hasn't promoted her new CD in the UK. I still bought it though because she's an amazing vocalist! Oi Parez, get ur facts straight before posting and get on a tredmill!



  57. 57

    She was probably tailgating in her Caddy Escalade, talking non-stop on her cell and waving her acrylic nail in the air. Fuck yeah she deserves to be sued. I hate bitches like that.



  58. 58

    The old man should be euthanized. Put him out of our misery once and for all.

    Re: Kate27 – You're a moron. Brandy has done more with her life that you ever will.
