When José Soriano Jimenez, who had been injured in a car crash, went to give a deposition in his lawsuit against the other driver, he didn’t expect to be asked questions about his immigration status. Jimenez’s attorney objected to those inquiries and, in a recent ruling, a Superior Court judge prohibited any questions about whether Jimenez is in the country legally or not.
Jimenez sued Christopher Brooks in 2014, claiming Brooks rear-ended his vehicle on Route 7 in Brookfield in November 2012. Jimenez claims he suffered injuries to his neck, back and hips. The case, which also names the owner of the vehicle Christopher Brooks was driving, Mark Brooks, as a defendant, is slated to go to trial in May in Litchfield Superior Court.
