Suing Himself? Man Sues After Hitting His Car
POSTED: 2:39 pm EST March 16, 2006
LODI, Calif. -- Curtis Gokey has only himself to blame for an accident, but he sued anyway.
Gokey is suing the city of Lodi for driving a dump truck into his car. The only thing is, he was the city employee driving the truck.
Gokey was driving the truck when he backed into his own car. He filed a $3,600 claim for damages, which the city rejected.
City attorneys said Gokey was essentially suing himself.
Now, Gokey's wife is filing a claim in her own name, saying she's the one who uses the car. The city has rejected her claim, too. But Rhonda Gokey isn't giving up so easily. She said she's not as nice as her husband. She insisted she has "the right to sue the city because a city's vehicle damaged my private vehicle."
Rhonda Gokey's claim is for $1,200 more than Curtis'.
