Overview

• Perry Lee filed the lawsuit in Tennessee on Sept. 2, alleging Jay Cutler was at fault for the Oct. 17, 2024 rear-end collision in Franklin.
• The complaint says Cutler followed too closely, failed to keep a proper lookout, did not pay attention, and was intoxicated at the time.
• Lee seeks compensatory damages for medical bills, pain, mental suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, with The Tennessean reporting an amount in excess of $25,000.
• Cutler pleaded guilty on Aug. 26 to misdemeanor DUI under a deal that led to dismissal of weapons charges, receiving four days in jail, a $350 fine, one year of unsupervised probation, a DUI class, and license revocation.
• He is scheduled to report to the Williamson County Jail on Sept. 29, and police records from the crash cite a refused field sobriety test, a compelled blood draw, and an alleged $2,000 offer to avoid a 911 call.
