Mayor Sues State Over Crash Injury | Boston News

Brockton Mayor Moises Rodrigues is suing Massachusetts over a May car crash that left him seriously injured and costing him over $32,000 in medical bills, claiming partial disability and $3,554 in lost wages. The lawsuit, filed as a private citizen, names the state as the sole defendant. This legal move follows other controversies, including a public accusation from a mother that he touched her teenage daughter inappropriately at a parade — a case now potentially headed toward assault and battery charges. While State Police confirmed the trooper involved in the crash is still active, they won’t comment on the lawsuit. Rodrigues’s team says they’re confident the state will recognize his injuries and settle quickly — though the mayor’s office has remained silent.
