The family of the man who was killed in the collision between a pickup truck and an Artman Environmental Corp. dump truck last Feb. 1 is now suing the Artman and the driver for wrongful death and negligence.<\/p>\n
The family of Raju Miah, who is being represented by a close friend, Khorshed Alam, is suing Artman Environmental Corp. and truck driver Eduardo T. Fabia in the CNMI Superior Court for negligence.<\/p>\n
Alam said in a filing last Thursday that the dead man\u2019s family have incurred costs and expenses, such as medical expenses, hospital bills, funeral, and other cost related to Miah\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Alam said, the Miah family has suffered economic and non-economic damages, severe pain and suffering, emotional and mental distress, and decreased wellbeing.<\/p>\n
In Alam\u2019s filing at the U.S. District Court for the NMI, he said that Fabia had a duty to drive reasonably to avoid unreasonable risk of harm to himself and others, and to obey all traffic laws and signs to avoid putting others at risk.<\/p>\n
Alam accused Fabia of driving Artman\u2019s truck in a \u201creckless, negligent, and dangerous manner on a public road\u201d and failed to stop at a red light at a traffic intersection, causing Miah to be killed.<\/p>\n
Miah\u2019s family, through Alam, wants a jury trial.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the family is seeking compensatory damages, economic and non-economic damages, plus reasonable medical expenses, hospital, funeral, and other related costs incurred because of Miah\u2019s death, and further relief as the court may deem just and proper.<\/p>\n
According to Saipan Tribune archives, Miah and Rommel Irang were thrown from the back of a Honda Ridgeline pickup truck when it collided with the Artman dump truck at the Puerto Rico intersection. Irang, who was injured in the crash, is also suing Artman and Fabia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
