New Trial Ordered In Noxubee Lawsuit
( JACKSON) WCBI – ANoxubee County log truck driver will get the chance to sue the Mississippi Department of Transportation for injuries suffered in a 2009 accident. Timothy Mixon was driving along highway 21 when he rounded a curve and hit an M-DOT pickup which was partially in the road and then pulled in front of his truck. A Noxubee County Judge ruled in favor of the state in Mixons lawsuit but today the State court of Appeals ruled sovereign immunity which prevents a public agency from being sued, does not apply in this case. The lawsuit now goes back to Noxubee Circuit Court for a trial.
