Plax hit with $125,000 Lawsuit For 2008 Incident

This is old, old news with a new conclusion.

TMZ are reporting that Plaxico Burress has been ordered to pay $125,000 in damages, loss of earning and medical bills following a car crash in 2008. Plax rear ended Alise Smith in Florida, while driving without insurance

A woman by the name of Alise Smith filed a lawsuit in Florida back in 2008, claiming Plax rear-ended her with his Mercedes-Benz back in May 2008 ... before his infamous gun incident. Plax did not have insurance at the time.

Not massive news, but it's still related to a Jets player. 2008 was a long time ago now, but $125,000 is a hefty bit of change; especially for a guy who has no 2012 team at the moment. I'm sure he'll be able to make that back pretty quickly though.

what is with these idiots?

Accidents happen, but how stupid do you have to be to drive without insurance when you are a multi-millionaire professional athlete.

It’s like the drunk driving stuff. Obviously nobody should drive drunk, but it’s extra stupid when you can easily afford a driver and your employer even provides a service.
