A Tennessee man and woman say the man was permanently disabled while performing his normal work duties as a car hauler.
Jeffrey T. and Angela Ellis filed a lawsuit July 17 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against Hansen and Adkins Auto Transport, Nissan North America and Cottrell.
The plaintiffs claim Jeffrey Ellis was originally hired by Premium of Tennessee but was leased to Hansen to perform car hauling duties.
While operating a ratchet and tie down system as part of his duties on July 21, 2008, Jeffrey Ellis received disfiguring and permanent injuries because of the force he was required to exert on the system, according to the complaint.

I spoke to someone back in 2006 who told me Cottrell & Boydstun were "Bloated" on their own success. How true those words were.
Ok Boydstun are now gone. Cottrell are fat and weak....when the job comes back the time is right for a "rival" to make their play. If nothing else it will give the operators a choice, and end Cottrells possible monopoly.
Cottrell have their own problems, and quite frankly if they go the way of Boydstun, I for one will lose no sleep. Their sales people are rude, arrogant and lazy at best. Yeah, they'll crawl over broken glass today to get your order, where was that attitude a few years back.
So who can you turn to for another high capacity rig? Mail me. My name is Weejca Riley. weeriley@gmail.com help out a fellow car hauler.
Be safe out there.
