RadarOnline.com has viewed legal documents that show Russell Eckerman 41, is going after the Browns after he claims he was left with everything from “pain and suffering” and “mental exposure” to medical bills totaling over $700,000.
Brown was behind the wheel of her friend’s Jeep Liberty in Roswell, Georgia, on Jan. 27, just days before she was found facedown in a bathtub.
Russell Eckerman, of Marietta, Ga., claims the Jan. 27 head-on crash left him with medical bills and damages exceeding $730,000.
The accident occurred near Atlanta just three days before Whitney Houston’s only child was found unconscious in a bathtub in her home in Roswell, Ga.
Bobbi Kristina, 21, who has been in a coma ever since, was moved to a hospice facility last week.
The suit, filed Friday in Fulton County, Ga., Supreme Court, charges that Brown was speeding and tailgating a car when she lost control of her 2005 Jeep Liberty, swerved into oncoming traffic and collided with Eckerman’s Ford Taurus.
At the time of the crash, a witness said Eckerman was bleeding from his head and did not have a pulse. Eckerman was revived and taken to North Fulton Hospital, where he spent several days in critical condition.
Witness Osse Lessage told reporters at the time that Bobbi Kristina jumped out of her car and raced to Eckerman to find out his condition.
“She was running and screaming, ‘Oh my gosh,’” Lessage said at the time. “My brother-in-law was there (saying) ‘calm down, calm down.’”Police investigators determined Bobbi Kristina lost control of the Jeep when she blew a right rear tire. Investigators said they found a nail in the tire.
The suit was brought against Bobbi Kristina through her guardians, who include her father, R&B singer Bobby Brown, her aunt, Pat Houston, and her conservator Bedelia Hargrove.
The suit also named the Ford Motor Company as a defendant, charging the airbag on Eckerman’s car did not deploy properly and its seatbelt was defective.
Meanwhile, Bobbi Kristina’s family continued to hold a bedside vigil for her at the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Ga.
When leaving the hospice facility Wednesday after a two-hour visit, Pat Houston said that her niece’s condition was the “same.”

This is unfair to file a lawsuit when the accused is under critical condition. Hope the Judge will tamper justice with mercy.

That man has no chill,money is not everything.everyone is praying & hoping for her recovery & the crazy dude is talking about lawsuit & money,crazy world, get well soon Bobbi.
Linda look alike
That man is just senseless...NONSENSE!
I was about to curse the man until I read that he was severely injured in the accident! I'm speechless!!!
That man must be mentally disturbed. Why did he wait this long to file the suit? He waited till she was defenseless abi? Hungry man
Am sure the man himself has just recovered frm his injuries. He also sued Ford motors. Why are peeps so sentimental
Everybody is blaming the guy but did you read the part that he owes $730,000.00. Who do you expect to pay that?
y did he wait this long? sure she would have bn paying some hospital bills before she went unconscious cos she was at d screen of the accident.. but wht's the mystery behind ds young lady's going unconscious for this long, cant simply comprehend, unless its spiritual. #Godhelpher
EWU ofia...
Are people really that money hungry? This girl is basically dead and you are still suing her.
A nail in her Tyre? I suspect her boyfriend, BTW wat do u Expect? A man I critical condition to file a law Suit? I'm sure be needed to recover first before filing the lawsuit, besides he is only asking for his hospital bills, they should pay him Abeg? The money is there
DEM DE PRAY FOR HER TO WAKE SINCE BEFORE THEM DO AM. THEM TRY. LAW IS THE LAW. SHE SHOULD PAY FOR IT.
Which lawsuit, the guy must be sick in d head.
