My Morning Jacket have been sued for allegedly disfiguring a man in a car accident three years ago in Denver, TMZ reports. On Tuesday, a lawyer for Jim James filed paperwork to move the case to a federal court in Colorado, online court records viewed by Pitchfork show. According to these records, Gonzalez Margarito filed the original lawsuit in against Jim James (real name: James Olliges) and My Morning Jacket Tours, Inc. in Boulder County District Court.
According to TMZ, which gives the alleged victim’s name as Margarito Gonzalez, the lawsuit claimed that James was recklessly driving too close behind the man’s vehicle. The lawsuit reportedly alleged “pain, suffering, and personal disfigurement” and asked the court to award unspecified damages. The lawsuit also reportedly alleged his injury was so bad the alleged victim can no longer enjoy life as he once did.
A My Morning Jacket representative declined to comment on the matter to Pitchfork.
