In court documents, the man accused Grayson of being a distracted driver. He said the teen reality star “was not paying attention to the roadway in the moments immediately preceding the rear-end collision.”
Patrick alleged that Grayson “failed to act appropriately under the circumstances, including maintaining a safe working distance from other motor vehicles, maintaining a safe driving speed and avoiding distractions from electronic devices in his motor vehicle.”

In response to the lawsuit, Todd and Julie denied that Patrick had suffered any harm as a result of their actions and demanded that the case be dismissed.

The family asked the court to stop Patrick’s subpoenas to their telephone provider. The plaintiff asked Verizon and AT&T to turn over Todd, Julie, Grayson, and Savannah’s data. Specifically, he requested call and text logs from the day before to 18 days after the crash. Todd and Julie claimed the request was “unreasonable, oppressive and a clear attempt to harass them.”
Patrick argued that the subpoenas were justified. He said Todd and Julie made vague arguments that the requested messages “may” contain messages protected by attorney-client privilege because they had been federally convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion.
He told the court that the couple had provided no evidence to support their claim.
The parties recently reached an agreement via telephone records. Patrick may request data from November 12 to 15. He gets Grayon’s data, but won’t see the other logs until Todd and Julie’s lawyer reviews the messages.
