Former “General Hospital” star Haley Pullos claims another driver is to blame after she plowed into him during a 2023 DUI crash.
According to an arrest affidavit, Pullos was charged with driving under the influence after the April 29, 2023, crash that sent Courtney Wilder to the hospital for emergency surgery.
As CrimeOnline reported, firefighters had to free Pullos from her car and assist her into an ambulance. At one point, a firefighter was checking Pullos’ injuries when she struck them and shouted, “This is a $400 f**king shirt.”
Wilder subsequently sued Pullos after sustaining serious injuries.
Now, according to DailyMail, Pullos’ attorneys are denying the allegations outlined in the lawsuit against Pullos, claiming that Wilder was the negligent one.
Pullos is pushing for a lawsuit dismissal, according to court documents, and says the collision was “caused by either the sole negligent and/or intentional conduct of plaintiffs.”
Further, the response alleges that any compensation awarded to Wilder should be “an amount proportionate to the amount by which plaintiffs’ negligent and/or intentional conduct contributed to the alleged damages.”
Pullos’ defense also claimed that the plaintiff’s injuries were “either wholly or in part, intentionally or negligently caused by person, firms, corporation, or entities’ outside Pullos’ control.”
Pullos also wants Wilder to pay her for legal fees and any other “further relief.”
