Aren't they right though? He wouldn't be sued personally even if it was someone else's car, he was driving the truck as an employee of the city, and the city would be responsible.
If the city could prove he did it on PURPOSE, they could then sue him and fire him, whether it was his car that was hit or not.
If ANY other public employee had backed a truck into his car, I would expect the city's insurance to cover the damages. It shouldn't be any different simply because he happened to hit his OWN car (and certainly his wife being part-owner, while not necessary, is a useful distinction).
My son and I had a fender bender with each other. We didn't sue though.
We briefly thought of contacting Jerry Springer however.
"LODI, Calif. - When a dump truck backed into Curtis Gokey's car, he decided to sue the city for damages. Only thing is, he was the one driving the dump truck. But that minor detail didn't stop Gokey, a Lodi city employee, from filing a $3,600 claim for the December accident, even after admitting the crash was his fault."
