Jay Cutler Sued Days After DUI Sentencing Over 2024 Tennessee Crash

The complaint by Perry Lee seeks compensatory damages tied to injuries he says stem from the Franklin collision.

Overview

  • Perry Lee filed a civil lawsuit in Tennessee on Sept. 2 alleging Cutler was at fault for the Oct. 17, 2024 rear-end crash in downtown Franklin.
  • The suit says Lee accrued medical bills, suffers daily pain and a reduced quality of life, and seeks unspecified compensation for lost wages and earning capacity.
  • Lee’s attorneys, John Morgan and Sydney Pierce, describe their client as a veteran who needs care for ongoing injuries they attribute to Cutler’s alleged negligence.
  • Cutler pleaded guilty on Aug. 26 to misdemeanor DUI, receiving four days in jail, a $350 fine, a DUI class, one year of probation, and a license revocation, with a firearms charge dismissed under the plea.
  • Reporting differs on whether the probation is supervised and requires drug testing, and Cutler is scheduled to report to the Williamson County Jail on Sept. 29.
