Springfield, MO (PRWEB) May 5, 2009 -- Ferguson Family uses Springfield, MO personal injury law firm to seek damages from bus firm in Rambo accident. The suit was filed May 1, 2009 in Lawrence County Missouri on behalf of Larry & Judy Ferguson and children Joseph and Pierce, who have chosen Aaron Sachs & Associates to represent them.
Southern Gospel legend Dottie Rambo was killed in an accident last Mother's day, Sunday, May 11, 2008, when her tour bus ran off the highway and struck an embankment near Springfield, Missouri. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Dottie, age 74 at the time of the accident was on her way to North Richland Hills, Texas to perform a Mother's Day show with Lulu Roman & Naomi Sego. Dottie's following was significant in terms of both her fans and other performers, some of legendary status themselves. Her musical legacy had been adopted and recorded by artists from Elvis Presley to Dolly Parton. Her death was seen as a tragedy for gospel-music lovers all over America. The wounds are still open for many of her fans, especially those in southwest Missouri, where she died.
Seven other people on the bus, including her manager Larry Ferguson and his wife and two children, were injured in the accident. At the time, Gene Higgins, President of the Christian Country Music Awards, stated: "We miss you, Dottie... Now our prayers and concerns must turn to the others that were injured in the accident. Larry Ferguson is a dear friend of ours and our prayers are with him and his family at this time." The Fergusons were hospitalized in Springfield, and are still dealing with the impact of their serious injuries. The family, who were devoted friends and helpers of Dottie Rambo, are now seeking legal redress from the driver of the bus used for the singer's transportation, as well as the company that held the lease for the vehicle. The suit names James R. Meadows, who was driving the coach at the time of the accident; Pyramid Coach, Inc; D. C. Investments Leasing LLC; Obsidian Enterprises Inc and Reba Rambo McGuire, administrator of Rambo's estate. "Some earlier press reports stated that weather played a part in causing this accident," said Aaron Sachs, Springfield, MO attorney for the Ferguson family. "That's just not so; it was due to operator error."
The Ferguson family was an instrumental part of Dottie Rambo's ministry. As well as being friends, they also assisted as her authorized care givers and in the operation of the widely-loved gospel singer's ministry. Larry Ferguson served as her road manager, setting up for each show. Judy, his wife, also injured in the crash, served as Dottie's personal assistant. Their children also rode along, often taking the stage to perform with Dottie as she traveled the country spreading the gospel in her own highly popular style. Dolly Parton, after the crash, stated, " I also want to send my prayers and thoughts to her manager, Larry Ferguson, the children, families and everyone involved in this terrible tragedy."
The suit was filed May 1, 2009 in Lawrence County (case number 09LW-CC00043 Larry Ferguson et al v. James R. Meadows et al) on behalf of Larry & Judy Ferguson and children Joseph and Pierce, who have chosen Aaron Sachs and Associates, a southwest Missouri personal injury law firm with offices in Springfield, Joplin and Columbia, Missouri to represent them.
