Beaumont attorney Ramie Griffin Jr., who practices criminal law, is the plaintiff in a personal injury suit filed March 21 in Jefferson County District Court.
According to the plaintiff's original petition, on Nov. 24, 2006 Griffin was the passenger in a vehicle driven by defendant Terry Sumpter when it was rear-ended by the vehicle of defendant Carl Gremminger. Griffin sustained injuries in the collision and says it was caused by negligent acts on the part of the defendants.
