The Anastopoulo Law Firm will represent the driver of a local pedicab taxi after a rear end collision left him in critical condition at MUSC. The law firm filed a lawsuit today on behalf of Travis Odell, a College of Charleston alum, after the Friday morning incident.
According to Charleston Police, Odell was hit from behind while pedaling his pedicab on Meeting and George Street around 2 am last Friday morning. Police records show that officers arrested 22-year-old Andrew Demetre (pictured) on one count of hit-and-run resulting in death or injury and one count of felony DUI resulting in great bodily injury or death.
The Anastopoulo Law Firm says Odell remains at MUSC in a medically induced coma with multiple serious injuries – including two broken legs, two collapsed lungs, comminuted forearm, broken ribs, fractured mandible, fractured pelvis, dislocated hip, and severe lacerations covering his body.
“This is an important case for an important member of our community,” said Roy T. Willey, IV, partner and trial lawyer at Anastopoulo Law Firm. “We will not rest until full justice is rendered for Travis and his family.”
Anyone with any information about the whereabouts of Andrew Demetre on the evening of Thursday, May 12th or early morning of Friday, May 13th is asked to visit the tip website set up for this case at pedicabcrash.com with any information.
