A man who sued the City of Norman in 2016 following a car collision with a Norman Police officer will collect damages after the Court of Civil Appeals upheld a district court ruling Monday.
Curtis Rodgersâ damages totaled $1 million in 2019 after Cleveland County District Court Judge Jeff Virgin deliberated the evidence, court records show.
However, the judge found both Rodgers and NPD Officer Ricky Hanna were equally responsible for the accident, and reduced the amount to $125,000 in light of the Government Tort Claims Act. The act allows a limit of $125,000 for a city the size of Norman.
Court records state that on Oct. 31, 2015, Hanna approached the intersection of 12th Avenue S.E. and Lindsey Street, and Rodgers made a left turn in front of Hanna. Hannaâs vehicle struck the front of Rodgersâ vehicle, according to court records.
