Brandy just can't get away from this lawsuit stuff. Another lawsuit has been filed against the brokenhearted songstress. Another person who was injured in the 06' car crash, which involved Brandy and left one person dead, is suing both the songbird and the deceased driver for personal injury and negligence.
The complaint filed last Monday (Dec 8) in the L.A. County Superior Court, says that the plaintiff, Donald Lite alleges he sustained "serious and permanent injuries" as a result of excessive speed on the part of Brandy and Awatef Aboudihaj and their failure to properly maintain a safe distance from each other.
The fatal chain reaction occurred Dec. 30, 2006, at about 10:30 a.m. on the 405 Freeway, when the 28-year-old R&B singer's 2007 Land Rover collided with a vehicle driven by the 38-year-old Aboudihaj, a wife and mother of two. She in turn smashed into a 1989 Toyota Tercel driven by the 82-year-old Lite, while a fourth car broadsided Aboudihaj, who died the following day as the result of major blunt force trauma.
Last year, Los Angeles prosecutors opted not to bring a criminal case against Brandy, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, after finding insufficient evidence that she was at fault. But that's not stopping Lite from pressing the matter in civil court. According to the suit, the former Moesha star "failed to keep a proper lookout" and stay far enough away from Aboudihaj to enable her to stop in time to avoid a collision.
"As a direct and proximate result of the negligence, carelessness and recklessness—the plaintiff suffered serious and permanent injuries all of which have caused, and continue to cause pain, suffering and nervousness," read court documents.
Lite's seeking unspecified damages for pain and suffering as well as the cost of medical care and loss of wages, among other claims. No word yet on a trial date. A rep for Brandy was unavailable for comment. The erstwhile America's Got Talent judge is already facing three wrongful death lawsuits filed by the relatives of Aboudihaj.

Sorry but good. She should not get away fe this kist because she can sing. As far as I am concerned her career should be over. Not sure how this accident is not proven to be her fault.
