The breakout rookie wide receiver was involved in a serious car accident at the end of March
Rashee Rice and his attorney will file their answer to a lawsuit against him by Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova after the Kansas City Chiefs‘ wide receiver played a pivotal role in causing a multi-car accident whilst speeding through Dallas.
The rookie, who is already a Super Bowl champion, was speeding through the streets with his ex-Southern Methodist University teammate, Theodore Knox, before both crashed and fled the scene.
Rice then turned himself in once the cars were linked to his name and as a result, is facing a minimum of eight felony charges because of the incident and potentially even time behind bars in prison.
If it couldn’t already get worse, the lawsuit by Petrovskiy and Gromova means Rice is being sued for one million dollars in actual damage and a further 10 million in punitive damages by the pair, who claim they suffered brain trauma, superficial injury, disfigurement and internal bleeding.
The pair want $71,122.69 to cover the cost of medical treatment, physical pain and suffering, loss of earning and the mental impact of the incident as well as the actual damage to their own cars and vehicles involved.
How did Rice respond?
His Kansas City Chiefs future is now hanging in the balance as if he receives a prison term, his contract will likely be torn up on the spot and he will become one of the many disgraced names in the NFL so how has the youngster, at the dawn of his career, reacted?
Well, Rice had responded to the news on May 9 as documents from Dallas County records show that Royce West and Craig Capua filed an original answer and general denial to the claims, arguing that they require “strict proof” and “credible evidence” of the claims.
“Pursuant to the Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 92,” Rice‘s legal team said. “Defendant Rice generally denies each and every, all and singular, the allegations contained in Plaintiff’s Original Petition.
“Along with any other pleading seeking affirmative relief subsequently filed by Plaintiff in this lawsuit, whether amended, supplemental, and/or otherwise, and Defendant Rice hereby demands strict proof by a preponderance of the credible evidence.”
Rice has also requested trial by jury.
