Cathy DeBell and Rachel Bake sued Alabama Rural Electric Association and Charles Tiemann for the injuries and damages they sustained when the Jeep Cherokee in which they were returning home from a chemotherapy treatment for Baker was hit by an 18-wheeler driven by Tieman, an employee of AREA.
Tiemann was driving south on Alabama 59 when he hit the rear of DeBell's SUV, which was stopped at an intersection just north of Interstate 10. The impact propelled the victim's vehicle into a tractor-trailer, which rolled partly over the hood of a Jeep. The plaintiffs claimed that Tiemann had a blood alcohol level of .09 two hours after the wreck.
The defendants admitted liability but contested damages.
