Anna Lalonde claims she was riding in a vehicle Carvelynne Graff was driving on Cardinal Drive in Beaumont on June 23, 2008, when defendant Amy Broussard, who was driving a vehicle insured by defendant Weldon Broussard, failed to control her speed and slammed into the rear of Graff's vehicle.
Because of the accident, Lalonde incurred medical costs, lost earnings and her earning capacity, suffered physical impairment and physical pain and endured mental anguish, according to the complaint filed May 17 in Jefferson County District Court.

Jonathan C. Juhan of Beaumont will be representing her.
