Westland is dealing with another lawsuit alleging poor police conduct.
Bernard Culver, a deaf man, was in a 2018 car wreck that he details in a complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court.
He is demanding a jury trial and damages because, no matter how many times he pointed at a printed “I Am Deaf or Hard of Hearing” card, police apparently failed to call for a sign language interpreter or other aids and services so he could tell his side of the story, the lawsuit states.
Culver’s complaint alleges violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act.
