DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — There is no dispute that a
motorcyclist suffered leg and ankle injuries that required surgery. But
Kevin Agee’s lawsuit against the state has been dismissed because he
wasn’t precise about the location of his crash.
Agee went airborne
in October 2009 on the service drive of the Southfield Freeway in
Dearborn. He sued the Michigan Department of Transportation claiming the
road was defective.
The state appeals court dismissed the lawsuit
last week, saying Agee didn’t follow Michigan law, which requires a
notice with details about the bad road. A three-judge panel at the court
says the area is a quarter-mile long, but Agee didn’t provide any
landmarks in his notice about the wreck.
