PLAXICO SUED OVER TRAFFIC ACCIDENT: Suspended Giants star accused of rear-ending a woman in May and not having insurance.
*On top of his recent arrest for carrying an illegal firearm, suspended New York Giants player Plaxico Burress has been sued in Florida's Broward County Circuit Court by a woman who says he rear-ended her in a May car crash and had no insurance on his nearly $140,000 Mercedes-Benz.
A document provided to the Associated Press by the woman's attorney indicates that his car insurance lapsed three days before the crash because, according to a letter from Allstate, Burress neglected to pay his premiums.
The wide receiver continues to serve a team suspension for shooting himself Nov. 29 in a nightclub with an illegally carried handgun. Burress shot himself at the Latin Quarter when he accidentally pulled the trigger on the .40-caliber Glock that was in his pants after fumbling a drink. Teammate Antonio Pierce took him to New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center for treatment.
Burress, 31, pleaded not guilty and was released on $100,000 bail. He is due back in court March 31. He was placed on the team's suspended/non-football injury list, and the NFL Players Association filed a grievance.
The union said the Giants violated the collective bargaining agreement when they placed Burress on that list, suspended him for the final four games of the regular season and fined him an additional week's salary for conduct detrimental to the team.
