Ward v. Allstate Insurance

Andrews, Presiding Judge.

Warren C. Ward suffered personal injuries during a collision between his vehicle and a vehicle driven by Clarence Dodson, Jr., a Houston County sheriff’s deputy, during the course of a police chase. Ward sued Dodson in his personal capacity, but the trial court ruled that the action was barred by official immunity. Ward later sued Dodson in his official capacity, but the trial court granted summary judgment to Dodson because the action was barred by the statute of limitation. We affirmed the trial court’s order in Ward v. Dodson, 256 Ga. App. 660 (569 SE2d 554) (2002).
