An Illinois couple injured in a 2013 collision on I-75 near Marietta has sued the driver of the truck that collided with their car, the Florida business that employed him and the trucking company, claiming that an alleged failure to properly maintain the semi tractor-trailer’s suspension system led to the collision.
The suit, originally filed in federal court in Illinois, was transferred to the Northern District of Georgia this week. The suit was transferred after the defendants moved to dismiss the case because the accident had occurred in Georgia and none of the defendants lived in Illinois, and all parties agreed that the case could be tried in Georgia.
