The family who was injured in February’s deadly car accident involving former Olympian and current television personality Caitlyn Jenner recently filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against the star.

According to the lawsuit filed by the Wolf-Milesi family, at least four of their family members suffered various injuries after they collided with the SUV which Jenner’s car had pushed into their path on the Pacific Coast Highway. According to reports, Jenner rear-ended a vehicle driven by Kim Howe, forcing her into oncoming traffic. The collision between Howe’s vehicle and that of the Wolf-Milesi family resulted in Howe’s death and the Wolf-Milesi family sustaining injuries of varying severity. The lawsuit also said the family is still suffering from emotional issues caused by their traumatic experience.

At the time of the accident, investigators initially found that Jenner was operating at a high rate of speed; however, prosecutors later declined to pursue vehicular manslaughter charges.

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin recently signed a bill that prohibits people from sending text messages while driving a vehicle, the Oklahoman reported on May 5.

Reports said driving while texting is now considered a primary offense under House Bill 1965, meaning police officers can pull people over for this distracted driving behavior. Though the proposed bill was previously criticized, it was backed by lawmakers after two state highway patrol troopers were killed in January. The vehicle driver who struck the two officers was apparently using his mobile phone before the crash occurred. Starting on November 1, officers may pull over a vehicle driver sending text message while driving, and a fine of $100 will be imposed. Oklahoma is now included in the 46 other states that ban cell phone use while driving.

People unfortunately suffer debilitating or even fatal injuries in car accidents caused by distracted drivers. If this has happened to you or to a loved one, working with a lawyer could help you recover financial compensation from those responsible.
