Former University of South Carolina football coach Travian Robertson has launched a high-stakes lawsuit following a devastating car crash that resulted in serious, permanent injuries.
The legal action, filed in Georgia, centres on a horrific head-on collision that occurred on July 3rd, 2023. Robertson was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe on Georgia State Route 24 when another vehicle, allegedly operated by defendant Zachary Seay, crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic.
The impact of the crash was catastrophic. Court documents state Robertson suffered "severe, permanent, and disabling injuries" to his body as a whole, requiring extensive and ongoing medical treatment. The suit details significant physical pain, mental anguish, and a substantial loss of capacity to enjoy life.
Prior to the accident, Robertson was a respected figure in college football. A former defensive lineman for the Gamecocks, he returned to his alma mater as a defensive coach, building a promising career. The injuries sustained have undoubtedly impacted his professional trajectory and personal life.
The lawsuit accuses Seay of negligence, claiming he failed to maintain his lane, operate his vehicle safely, and exercise due care on the road. Robertson is seeking compensation for a multitude of damages, including:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Significant physical pain and suffering
- Lost wages and a diminished future earning capacity
- Mental and emotional distress
This legal battle highlights the profound and lasting consequences of road traffic accidents, turning lives upside down in a split second. The case is ongoing.
