Trial Date Set For WWE Traffic Accident Lawsuit

WWE has seen their fair share of lawsuits. The company is being sued by a cyclist who claimed he was terribly injured after his bicycle collided with a WWE van in Tampa on July 22, 2019.

According to PW Insider, the Florida Middle District Court will hear the trial on February 6, 2023. For those not in the know, Jackson Parsons filed the lawsuit in June 2021.

Parsons alleged that a van rented by WWE was being driven by a WWE employee, Gaitan Thomas, “who was on the job at the time” when it hit Parsons’ bicycle. The driver, Thomas, works as a props expert for WWE.  WWE legal filings in the case have described Thomas as “an independent contractor engaged” by the company.

Parsons claimed he “suffered physical injuries, pain-and-suffering, disability and the inability and loss of the capacity to lead and enjoy normal life, inconvenience, disfigurement, scarring and mental anguish.”

He further stated he will be dealing with permanent issues due to the accident, citing he “suffered physical injuries, pain-and-suffering, disability and the inability and loss of the capacity to lead and enjoy a normal life, inconvenience, disfigurement, scarring and mental anguish.”
