Gill v. Lorenzo Doke, et. al. (Bridgeport Superior Court—filed July 21, 2017) The decedent, Ricardo Rose, was sitting in the passenger seat of a semi-tractor trailer stopped at the side of the road when the defendant driver, 36-year-old Lorenzo Doke, began behaving recklessly. As Rose attempted to exit the truck, Doke began to drive away in a highly dangerous manner causing Rose to fall out onto the pavement. The tires of the semi-truck operated by Doke struck, crushed, and mortally wounded Mr. Rose, who was left to die in the street. Mr. Rose died before an ambulance could reach the scene. Doke is currently serving a 16-year sentence for involuntary vehicular manslaughter. Rose leaves behind his only daughter, our plaintiff and the administrtrix of his estate, and one granddaughter. The co-defendant in the case is Doke’s employer, T & H Transport, LLC, who owned and maintained the semi-tractor trailer and who negligently allowed Doke to operate the big rig unimpeded despite his mile long felony criminal record.
